Introduction: Vascular restriction training is a technique that uses partial restriction of blood flow during resistance training of low intensity, in order to develop muscular strength. Objective: To verify the effectiveness of vascular restraint training on quadriceps strength gain through a systematic review. Methods: The recommendations of the PRISMA statement were followed. A systematic search in the virtual databases Pubmed, PEDro and Scielo was executed by two blind researchers among themselves. The following combined descriptors were used: Health Sciences (DeCs): Blood, Regional Blood Flow, Muscle Strength. The quality of the studies was evaluated by the PEDro quality scale. Results: Three articles met the eligibility criteria and were included in the review. Inclusive surveys were characterized as randomized clinical trials and the presence of a control group, all obtained a score higher than 6 on the PEDro scale. Conclusion: The studies did not provide concrete conclusions about the efficacy of low intensity training with restriction of blood flow on muscular strength, the reduced number of articles with high methodological rigor also influenced directly the results of the research.
