Brief summary
The aim of our study is to determine and evaluate the effects of blood flow restriction technique on pain, biomechanical properties and strength of the muscle in delayed onset muscle pain in healthy individuals. A Double Blind, Randomized Controlled, prospective study was planned.
Detailed description
All participants will be taken into the DOMS creation protocol. Participants will then be divided into 80% intensity BFR and 20% intensity Blood Flow Restriction technique (BFR) groups and will be included in an exercise protocol accompanied by BFR application.
Interventions
OTHERBFR technique
For BFR application, Airbands brand, wireless, automatic training cuffs will be used. During application, it will be ensured that the device module faces forward and the cuff will be fixed in the correct position by wrapping the band around the metal ring. There will be a space between the skin and the cuff that can fit two fingers. The cuff will then be paired via Bluetooth with the Airbands app installed on the phone. BFR cuffs will be placed proximal to the biceps brachii muscle and pressure will be applied. The cuff will be inflated to automatically detect limb pressure. BFR application with 80% pressure to one group of participants and 20% pressure to the other group will be applied simultaneously with the exercise.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| myoton | 2 months | it will be used for assessment of muscle tonus and biomechanic properties, scores are changin according to different parameters. |
| dynamometer | 2 months | it will be used for assessment of myscle strength, lower scores indicate that the situation is getting worse. |
| Visual analog scale | 2 months | it will be used for assessment of pain intensity, It is scored between 0-10, and higher scores indicate that the situation is getting worse. |
| dolorimeter | 2 months | it will be used for assessment of pain thresold pressure, lower scores indicate that the situation is getting worse. |
