Summary

In this study, it was aimed to compare the effects of low load blood flow restriction exercise (LL-BFRE) training versus high load resistance exercise (HL-RE) training in healthy young individuals on the parameters of lower extremity muscle strength, dynamic and static postural balance, functional performance and cognitive performance.

Detailed description

In this randomized controlled study, there will be two study group. Study group 1 will recieve low load blood flow restriction exercise training and Study group 2 will recieve high load resistance exercise training for 6 weeks, 2 exercise sessions weekly. At baseline assessment, individuals who met the inclusion criteria, informed by the researcher and accept the participate in the study, researcher will record the participants' sociodemographic and physical informations and then, asess the lower extremity muscle strength with Hand-held digital dynamometer, dynamic postural balance with Y-Balance Test-Lower Quarter, static postural balance with Single Leg Stance Test (Eyes open/closed condition), functional performance with 6-Minute Walking Test and cognitive performance with Stroop Word and Colour Test and Trail Making Test. At the end of the 6 week exercise training all participants will undergo the same assessments.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Low Load Blood Flow Restriction Exercise Training (LL-BFRE)	Blood Flow Restriction exercise training, also known as occlusion training or KAATSU training, is a contemporary exercise training method based on partially restricting arterial and venous blood flow for short periods.
OTHER	High Load Resistive Exercise Training (HL-RE)	HL-RE is a conventional, well known exercise method to enhance muscle strength and improve physical performance. It's performed by using resistance bands or weights applying on the extremity.
