Details and patient eligibility

About

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.
