It was to compare the effect of low-load resistance training with blood flow restriction (LL-BFR) and high-intensity resistance training (HI-RT) on muscle strength, endurance and volume, functional performance, and delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). The study included 13 young women. It is a controlled study designed for individuals to perform two different exercise protocols unilaterally. The persons were randomly allocated into two groups as LI- BFR (Group I, n = 13) and HI-RT (Group II, n = 13). Both groups received training for 6 weeks and 3 days a week. Blood flow restriction was performed only in group I.
Both sides triceps muscle thickness, triceps and biceps strength and endurance, functional performances (upper extremity Y balance test (UQYBT)), delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) were evaluated before and after training.

In the exercise protocol, people exercised resistance between 20% and 30% of 1 MaxRepetition with free weight. In addition, blood flow was restricted in 70% of the arterial occlusion pressure of the individual with the help of a cuff during exercise.
People included in the study did resistance exercise with free weight at 70-80% of 1 MT.

triceps muscle thickness
Triceps brachial (TB) long head thickness was measured using the Esaote mylab C series ultrasound device.
Time frame: 6 weeks
triceps and biceps strength
Triceps brachial muscle strength was evaluated with an isokinetic dynamometer (Cybex HUMAC / NORM, CSMI, 2004). Isometric muscle strength measurement was performed at the beginning and end of the study at angular velocities of 0-150 ° elbow range, 60 ° / s (strength measurement)
Time frame: 6 weeks
triceps and biceps endurance
Triceps brachial muscle strength was evaluated with an isokinetic dynamometer (Cybex HUMAC / NORM, CSMI, 2004). Isometric muscle strength measurement was performed at the beginning and end of the study at angular velocities of 0-150 ° elbow range, 180 ° / s (endurance measurement).
