The immune system in sporadic inclusion body myositis patients is not compromised by blood-flow restricted exercise training

Table 3 Responders vs. non-responders to BFRE training. Responders, patients showing progress in all three tests of functional capacity (FP22, FP15); non-responders, patients with a decline in at least two of the tests of functional capacity (FP3, FP14, FP20). An upregulation (positive response) is defined as a 10% increase or more. A decline (negative response) is defined as 10% decrease or more. No change is defined as a change of less than 10%
