Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of blood flow restriction applied during nordic hamstring exercise on neuromuscular activation and endothelial function.

Conditions

Endothelial Dysfunction; Hamstring Injury

Keywords

blood flow restriction; nordic hamstring exercise; endothelial function; muscular activation

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Endothelial function

  Endothelial function was evaluated with flow-mediated dilation.

  It was evaluated for the control and experimental extremities before exercise.

• Surface EMG

  It was evaluated for the biceps femoris and semitendinosus muscles of the control and experimental extremities during Nordic hamstring exercise.

  During exercise

• Endothelial function

  Endothelial function was evaluated with flow-mediated dilation.

  It was evaluated for the control and experimental extremities 15 minutes after exercise. ( Outcomes were evaluated as acute.)

Study Arms (2)

blood flow restriction + Nordic hamstring exercise

EXPERIMENTAL

Other: Blood Flow Restriction

Interventions

Blood Flow Restriction OTHER

After randomization, a cuff was placed proximal to one lower extremity. Blood flow was restricted from 60% of the arterial occlusion pressure. The other extremity was determined as the control group. 3x5 nordic hamstring exercises were performed. Surface emg was measured for hamstring muscles during exercise.
