Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of blood flow restriction (BFR) exercises on lower extremity muscle strength, muscle thickness, and sport-specific motivation in adolescent elite male canoe athletes. Participants aged 15-18 years will perform low-intensity resistance exercises supported by BFR twice a week for 8 weeks. Pre- and post-intervention measurements will include one-repetition maximum (1RM) for muscle strength, ultrasound for muscle thickness, and the Sport Motivation Scale for assessing motivation. Findings are expected to contribute to optimizing training protocols for canoe athletes and to reveal the potential performance-enhancing role of BFR training.
