i thik it restrcits their chakra, depending on their alive-selves power. like, hashirama was powerful enough to break away from his edo form, but we know that he wasnt at his strongest. now, if the chakra is being restricted, then one would assume that they are physically weaker as well, since chakra is combination of physical, mental, and spiritual power put together, so u cant have high chakra lvls while having a really strong body, but having no mental or spiritual power (naruto seemed physcially weak, but his other aspect were high, so as a 16 y/o, he had chakra lvls higher than kakashi's, whose mind was so-so, had an above average body power, and spiritual power was kinda weak, while naruto had both of the last ones at max lvls of power). rock lee and guy are strong cuz of their minds (which they work upon all the time) and strong-ass bodies, so their chakra is pretty damn high as well. sasuke is physcially strong, but has a weak mind and spirit, hence his semi above average chakra-lvls. minato doesnt work in his body at all, since he really doenst fight that much. he trains his stamina by using jutsu all the time, and has a pretty good mind, but his body sucks. tobirama was close to his brother's power cuz of this. he, unlike minato, trains his body cuz we see him fighting physically agaisnt his opponents, and has huge natural chakra lvls... anyhow, edo's have a smaller chakra pool, but said chakra pool grows instantly every time some chakra is taken from it.
