The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of blood flow restriction applied during nordic hamstring exercise on neuromuscular activation and endothelial function.
Study Type
INTERVENTIONAL
Allocation
RANDOMIZED
Purpose
TREATMENT
Masking
SINGLE
Enrollment
14
After randomization, a cuff was placed proximal to one lower extremity. Blood flow was restricted from 60% of the arterial occlusion pressure. The other extremity was determined as the control group. 3x5 nordic hamstring exercises were performed. Surface emg was measured for hamstring muscles during exercise.

Endothelial function
Endothelial function was evaluated with flow-mediated dilation.
Time frame: It was evaluated for the control and experimental extremities before exercise.
Surface EMG
It was evaluated for the biceps femoris and semitendinosus muscles of the control and experimental extremities during Nordic hamstring exercise.
Time frame: During exercise
Endothelial function
Endothelial function was evaluated with flow-mediated dilation.
Time frame: It was evaluated for the control and experimental extremities 15 minutes after exercise. ( Outcomes were evaluated as acute.)
