Effect of Blood Flow Restriction on Football-Related Performance Parameters
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The blood flow restriction method can have similar or superior effects to high-intensity exercises even in a short duration, which can positively affect some performance parameters, can be applied with low-intensity load and cause hypertrophy in the muscle by providing high metabolic stress, facilitating muscle growth without significantly changing the total training dose. The aim of this study is to investigate whether adding the blood flow restriction method to the classical training program can be more effective than the classical training applied alone in the development of football-related performance parameters.

Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: Blood Flow Restriction + Classical Training
|
Other: Blood Flow Restriction
Blood flow restriction with low load (30-50% 1RM) for 2 sessions in a week for 6 weeks during classical training will be applied.
|
| Experimental: Classical Training Alone
|
Other: Classical Training Alone
Classical training same as Group 1with moderate to high load (70-90% 1RM) for 2 sessions in a week for 6 weeks will be applied without blood restriction.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Evaluation of Muscle Strength and Endurance [6 weeks]
Isokinetic dynamometer
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Evaluation of Lower Extremity Power [6 weeks]
Vertical jump test
- Evaluation of Aerobic Endurance [6 weeks]
Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Level 1 test

Y Balance Test
- Evaluation of Muscle Fatigue [6 weeks]
Surface EMG
- Systemic Fatigue [6 weeks]
Lactate analysis
- General Perceived Fatigue [6 weeks]
Borg scale
- Evaluation of General Satisfaction and Perceived Performance Change [6th week]
General satisfaction and the change in performance perceived by the participants will be evaluated with the 7 points Global Rating of Change Scale after the training program. According to the scale, it is expressed as "-3: I am much worse, -2: I am worse, -1: I am a little worse, 0: No change, 1: I am a little better, 2: I am better, 3: I am much better".
