Brief summary
Purpose of the study is; to investigate the acute effects of exercises combined with blood flow restriction on strength, proprioception and functional motor performance in healthy individuals. The investigators hypothesized that blood flow restriction exercises has a positive effect on strength, proprioception and functional motor performance.
Detailed description
60 healthy individuals will randomized into 3 groups of 20 people each. Participants will be held in a familiarization session before 3-4 days the actual evaluation. Elbow bending exercises with blood flow restriction will be performed to the blood flow restriction (BFR) group, elbow bending exercises without blood flow restriction will be performed to the exercise group and control group will not receive any interventions. Participants will be evaluated before and after the exercise session. Control group is going to rest for 10 minutes before the second evaluation. Evaluation protocol includes; muscle strength measurement with digital hand dynamometer, shoulder and elbow proprioception evaluation with inclinometer, Upper Extremity Closed Kinetic Chain Stabilization Test, Functional Throwing Performance Index and Modified Pull-Up Test.
Interventions
Elbow bending exercises with blood flow restriction will be performed to the exercise group.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Strength | baseline measurements and after 10 minutes of one exercise session | Change of biceps muscle strength(in kg, with hand held dynamometer) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Shoulder proprioception | baseline measurements and after 10 minutes of one exercise session | Change of shoulder proprioception for 100 abduction (with bubble inclinometer) |
| Elbow proprioception | baseline measurements and after 10 minutes of one exercise session | change of elbow proprioception for three degrees: 45, 60 and 75 (with digital inclinometer) |
| Modified Pull-Up Test | baseline measurements and after 10 minutes of one exercise session | Number of pull-ups will be recorded |
| Upper Extremity Closed Kinetic Chain Stabilization Test | baseline measurements and after 10 minutes of one exercise session | This test will be occurred in plank position. Participant will touch with one hand to other while maintaining the position. Number of touch will be recorded. |
| Functional Throwing Performance Index | baseline measurements and after 10 minutes of one exercise session | Participants will throw a ball to shot a frame on a wall. Number of correct shots will be recorded |
