Pushing boundaries in the lab 💪

SPE students are get hands-on with Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training—a technique that uses specialized bands to partially restrict blood flow to working muscles during low-load exercise. This allows individuals to build strength and muscle while using lighter weights, reducing stress on joints and tissues.

BFR is widely used in rehabilitation settings, performance training, and injury recovery—making it a powerful tool for future professionals to understand and apply.

Learning the “why” behind the method, not just the movement.

Once again two track records fall and two SPE seniors are part of the history! Congrats to Isaiah Krenek and Sam Ehlke!
