Blood Flow Restriction in Older Adults

The intensity of the work will be set at around 40% of the maximum intensity that can be executed in a single repetition (1RM). To reach the established intensity, weights, weighted ankle supports and rubber bands of different resistances will be used. Three sets of 8-10 repetitions will be performed with breaks of 1-2 seconds between repetitions and 2-3 minutes between sets. The intensity of the work will be established by applying the rate of perceived exertion. A blood flow restriction device will be used (Akrafit, Valencia, Spain model).
