Summary

Sixty athletes will be randomized in two groups; (1) an experimental group and (2) a control group. Both groups will undergo the following procedure:

Moment 1:

1. Baseline testing: countermovement jump, 25m sprint and strength assessment of the Hamstrings and Quadriceps muscle.
2. Short warm-up (approximately 4 minutes), which will be completed with blood flow restriction cuffs (experimental group) or without (control group)
3. Post testing: same tests as performed in baseline.

Moment 2:

1. Baseline testing: stiffness measurements of the Biceps Femoris Long Head via Shear Wave Elastography.
2. Short warm-up (approximately 4 minutes), which will be completed with blood flow restriction cuffs (experimental group) or without (control group)
3. Post testing: same tests as performed in baseline.

Both moments of testing as well as the order in which the performance tests take place are randomized.
