| description | <b>(1) Background:</b> It is a matter of curiosity what effect the blood flow restriction (BFR) method, which is usually combined with low-intensity resistance exercises, will have when used with high-intensity eccentric exercises. <b>(2) Methods:</b> The present study examined the effects of combining BFR with nordic hamstring exercises (NHEs) on hamstring muscle strength, bilateral deficit (BLD), and training volume. Thirty young female volleyball players, who trained three times a week, participated voluntarily in the study. These players were stratified into three groups, each comprising ten individuals: a control group (CG), an NHE group, and an NHE + BFR group. Hamstring muscle strength and BLD values were determined using an H-BORD device, while training volume was measured in terms of sets and repetitions. <b>(3) Results:</b> Statistical analysis revealed that there were no statistically significant differences in non-dominant and dominant leg peak torque parameters in the exercise groups (F = 2.65; <i>p</i> = 0.097; η<sub>p</sub><sup>2</sup> = 0.17; F = 1.15; <i>p</i> = 0.0334; η<sub>p</sub><sup>2</sup> = 0.084), while the total training volume was lower in the NHE + BFR group. <b>(4) Conclusions:</b> As a result, it was seen that adding the BFR method to NHE did not provide additional gains. However, due to the low training volume of BFR + NHE, it may be recommended to apply BFR together with NHE to athlete groups. |
