Brief Summary

Blood Flow Restrictive Exercises (BFR) provide strength increase with less load than required for traditional muscle strengthening and power. As an alternative for populations that have difficulty training with high loads and speeds, low-intensity BFR training has been shown to improve muscle strength and aerobic parameters and to be safe, even in professional athletes and individuals with chronic diseases in various populations. The aim of our study is to examine the effects of BFR applied to the upper extremity on upper extremity muscle strength and performance in basketball players.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Bench press test

  Bench Press 1RM test will be applied for upper extremity muscle strength. the athlete's 1RM weight will be determined.

  Change from Baseline Bench press test at 3 weeks and 6 weeks

• Hand Grip Strength

  "Jamar (NY 10533)" brand dynamometer, one of the hydraulic measuring instruments, will be used to measure grip force.

  Change from Baseline Hand Grip Strength at 3 weeks and 6 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• 20 m Sprint Test

  Change from Baseline Bench press test at 3 weeks and 6 weeks

• T Agility Test

  Change from Baseline T Agility Test at 3 weeks and 6 weeks

• Free Throw Test

  Change from Baseline Free Throw Test at 3 weeks and 6 weeks

• Fatigue Assessment

  immediately after each BFR session

EXPERIMENTAL

While the basketball players continue their current basketball training; The 90-minute BFR program will be applied 3 sessions a week for 3 weeks. In the BFR program, biceps curls, triceps curls, shoulder presses, shoulder abduction exercises and sport-specific routine training will be applied. Exercises: 30% of 1 maximum repetition with resistance and 60% of arterial occlusion pressure restricted; Based on previous studies in the literature, the first set will be performed with 30 repetitions and the other three sets with 15 repetitions, a total of 4 sets and a 30-second rest between sets. There will be a 10-minute warm-up exercise before each BFR training and a 10-minute cool-down exercise at the end of the training.

Other: Blood Flow Restriction

Routine Training

NO INTERVENTION

Initial evaluations will be made for all participants. Then, they will continue their routine basketball training programs for 3 weeks.

Interventions

Blood Flow Restriction OTHER

Before BFR training, a repetition maximal (1-RM) test will be determined by selecting a weight with which athletes can perform a maximum of 10 repetitions. The number of repetitions obtained here and the weight lifted will be written into the Brzycki formula, whose validity and reliability has been proven, and 1-TM will be calculated. Brzycki formula; 1-TM = \[100 x (Weight Lifted) / \[(102.78 - 2.78 x (Number of Reps)\] The arterial occlusion pressure of the participants will be measured with a Doppler Ultrasound device by increasing the cuff to the point where the auscultatory pulse of the brachial artery ceases until occlusion occurs in the brachial artery. Then, 60% of this value will be calculated and BFR will be performed during the exercises.
