Brief summary
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.
Interventions
OTHERBlood Flow Restriction
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.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Surface EMG | During exercise | It was evaluated for the biceps femoris and semitendinosus muscles of the control and experimental extremities during Nordic hamstring exercise. |
| Endothelial function | It was evaluated for the control and experimental extremities before exercise. | Endothelial function was evaluated with flow-mediated dilation. |
