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
Detailed Description: Basketball is a demanding sport that requires participants to display a high level of physical fitness and special sporting skills Basketball requires a high level of anaerobic and aerobic conditioning and is not only a team sport but also a sport that requires players to demonstrate their individual characteristics In this regard it is thought that the determination of performance components based on field tests is a more suitable method for determining the athletic levels of athletes with special needs

BFR which aims to restrict blood flow to the muscle during exercise is traditionally known as kaatsu Blood flow is restricted with a pressure-controlled and monitorable exercise belt produced for BFR In order for the method to be successful the tourniquet method must be applied to the proximal region of the extremity and in this way less blood flow to the muscle can actually be achieved

With BFR it is recommended that the external pressure be made sufficient to restrict the arterial oxygen pressure between 40 and 80 and it is thought that the effects of exercise increase in this hypoxic environment In this way it is sufficient to perform the exercises at 20 to 40 of the 1 maximum repetition not 60-85 which is normally required for muscle hypertrophy An ischemic and hypoxic muscle environment during BFR It has been hypothesized that it is produced to cause high levels of metabolic stress and mechanical tension Both metabolic stress and mechanical tension have been described as primary hypertrophy factors and are theorized to activate other mechanisms for muscle growth

Strength training performed by restricting blood flow plays an important role in muscle hypertrophy by activating the endocrine system It has been proven that low-intensity blood flow restriction training increases the plasma concentration of growth hormone more than normal exercises BFR involves low-intensity resistance training and is placed on the proximal portion of the lower or upper extremity muscles to be worked with a bandage or cuff that restricts blood flow providing appropriate superficial pressure

The aim of this study is to examine the effects of BFR applied to the upper extremity on upper extremity muscle strength and performance in basketball players
