About this trial
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.

Treatments tested in this trial
Blood Flow Restriction
Other interventionBefore 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.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Bench press test
Bench Press 1RM test will be applied for upper extremity muscle strength. the athlete's 1RM weight will be determined.
Time frame
Change from Baseline Bench press test at 3 weeks and 6 weeks2
Hand Grip Strength
"Jamar (NY 10533)" brand dynamometer, one of the hydraulic measuring instruments, will be used to measure grip force.
Time frame
Change from Baseline Hand Grip Strength at 3 weeks and 6 weeksSecondary outcomes
1
20 m Sprint Test
A 20 m speed test will be applied to evaluate the speed of the participants. Running basketball players will be asked to run the 20-meter track at maximum level after starting.
Time frame
Change from Baseline Bench press test at 3 weeks and 6 weeks2
T Agility Test
T test will be applied to evaluate the agility of the participants.The best time of the participants will be recorded.
Time frame
Change from Baseline T Agility Test at 3 weeks and 6 weeks3
Free Throw Test
A shooting test will be applied to evaluate the shooting skills of the athletes. Athletes will be asked to make 2 sets of free throws with 8 repetitions after the "Start" command from the starting position behind the foul (free throw) line. Total scores will be recorded at the end of the test.
Time frame
Change from Baseline Free Throw Test at 3 weeks and 6 weeks4
Fatigue Assessment
The modified Borg CR10 scale will be used to evaluate perceived fatigue.
