Abstract
An inflatable belt 100 for use in a BFR system with an outer belt material 102 hermetically sealed to an inner belt material 101 along a perimeter, thereby forming at least one inflatable chamber 103, the inflatable chamber having an input port 104 for accepting a gas into the chamber, the inflatable belt further comprising a first fastening means 110 in communication with the outer belt material, for attaching to a second fastening means 111 in communication with the outer belt material, thereby locking a circumference of the inflatable belt, when wrapped around a user's limb, efficacy feedback means 200 for gathering efficacy feedback data 205, for use in prescribing, monitoring and adjusting one or more training parameters of a BFR training session and/or program based on evaluation of the efficacy feedback data.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWe claim:
1 . An individualized blood flow restriction system for monitoring and prescribing a blood flow restriction training program, said system comprising:
One or more belts for restricting a flow of blood through one or more extremities of a user, One or more efficacy feedback means for gathering efficacy feedback data to ascertain a level of efficacy of a completed blood flow restriction training session, A processing means for processing said efficacy feedback and determining how to adjust and prescribe one or more training parameters of a subsequent blood flow restriction training session, And a communication means for communicating said subsequent blood flow restriction training session to said user.
2 . The system of claim 1 wherein said efficacy feedback means comprises a repetition counting means.
3 . (canceled)
4 . (canceled)
5 . The system of claim 1 wherein said efficacy feedback means comprises a heart rate sensor.
6 . (canceled)
7 . The system of claim 1 wherein said blood flow restriction training program is initiated with said training parameters determined to be at a level that is expected to be safe for said user based on one or more biometric attributes of said user.
8 . (canceled)
9 . A method of monitoring an individualized blood flow restriction training program, said method comprising:
Providing one or more belts for restricting a flow of blood in one or more of a user's extremities, Initially collecting one or more pieces of biometric information about said user, Prescribing one or more training parameters for said user based on said biometric information, Gathering efficacy feedback data about a blood flow restriction training session performed by said user, Adjusting said training parameters based on said efficacy feedback data to prescribe a subsequent blood flow restriction training session.
10 . The method of claim 9 wherein said biometric information is related said user's physical state.
11 . (canceled)
12 . (canceled)
13 . The method of claim 9 wherein an initial blood flow restriction training session further comprises no restriction of blood flow.
14 . The method of claim 9 wherein said monitoring further comprising providing a heart rate sensor for gathering said efficacy feedback data.

19 . (canceled)
20 . A method of blood flow restriction training, comprising:
positioning a blood flow restriction device around a limb, the blood flow restriction device applying a pressure to the limb, the pressure being adjustable; and capturing data during a training exercise of a user with a system having a sensor, the sensor capturing data to determine efficacy of the training exercise.
21 . The method of claim 20 , further comprising:
communicating the data captured by the sensor to a processor; and determining efficacy of the training exercise with the blood flow restriction device with the processor using the data captured by the sensor.
22 . (canceled)
23 . The method of claim 20 , further comprising:
collecting baseline data of the user during a baseline session.
24 . (canceled)
25 . (canceled)
26 . (canceled)
27 . The method of claim 20 , wherein:
the positioning is carried out with the blood flow restriction device having an adjustable inflation pressure for at least one inflatable chamber to change the pressure on the limb applied by the blood flow restriction device.
28 . The method of claim 20 , wherein:
the capturing is with the sensor capturing a physiological parameter.
29 . The method of claim 20 , wherein:
the capturing is with the sensor capturing data to determine if a disturbance of homeostasis has occurred in the limb under blood flow restriction.
30 . The method of claim 20 , wherein:
the capturing is with the sensor capturing data to determine if the user's brain has responded to a disturbance of homeostasis in the limb under blood flow restriction.
31 . (canceled)
32 . (canceled)
33 . (canceled)
34 . (canceled)
35 . The method of claim 20 , wherein:
the capturing is with the sensor capturing data to calculate heart rate variability.
36 . (canceled)
37 . The method of claim 20 , wherein:
the capturing is with the sensor having leads on either side of the heart.

42 . (canceled)
43 . (canceled)
44 . (canceled)
45 . The method of claim 20 , further comprising:
estimating an intensity of training using data derived from the sensor; and calculating an accumulation of excessive post exercise oxygen consumption at a sample time separated in time by a time interval from a prior sample time, the sample time and the prior sample time being during the training session, the calculating being carried out using the intensity and the excessive post exercise oxygen consumption at the prior sample time.
