The Effect Of Training Program With Venous Blood Flow Restriction On Some Physical And Skill Variables In Gymnastics Students At Palestine Technical University-Kadoorie

Abstract

Problem Statement: Gymnastics requires a blend of physical strength and knowledge of skills. To improve the performance of gymnastics pupils, it is necessary to implement novel training techniques. This study aims to examine the effects of Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training on specific physical and skill factors in gymnastics students at Palestine Technical University - Kadoorie.

Approach: A quantitative approach was employed to evaluate the effects of a proposed BFR training program on male gymnastics players (n=30). The participants were divided into a control group (n=15) and an experimental group (n=15).

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the influence of BFR training on gymnastics students' physical and skill variables. Three hypotheses weretested to determine the effects of conventional training, the incorporation of BFR, and the superiority of specialized training programs.

Results: The results of the physical tests revealed a significant enhancement in the post-test for the conventional training of the control group (Vertical Jump from Standstill, Medicine Ball Throws from Overhead, Push-Up and Sit-Up) with an enhancement of (5.01%, 6.64%,23.71%, 23.84%) respectively. The floor exercise skill test exhibited the most notable enhancement, as evidenced by the substantial (52.85%) increase between post and pre-training. The results for the BFR training of the experimental group revealed a significant enhancement in the physical tests (Vertical Jump from Standstill, Medicine Ball Throws from Overhead, Push-Up and Sit-Up) with an enhancement of (8.20%, 8.95%,35.29%, 32.52%) respectively. The floor exercise skill test exhibited the most notable enhancement, as evidenced by the substantial (189.88%) increase between post and pre-training. The results also showed that the experimental group outperformed the control group in various post-test assessments. Vertical Jump (50.93 vs. 47.07), Medicine Ball Throws (4.91 vs. 4.513), Sit-Ups (13.80 vs. 12.20), Push-Ups (14.67 vs. 12.87), and Floor Exercise (7.333 vs. 3.866). This suggests the intervention significantly improved gymnastics students' physical and skill performance.

Conclusions: In conclusion, BFR training was crucial to gymnastics improvement. It improves strength, endurance, and technique safely and effectively. The findings suggest incorporating BFR training into normal routines with tailored procedures and close monitoring to enhance improvements and reduce dangers. This study emphasizes the need for sport-specific training treatments in athletic development. BFR training can help gymnastics trainers and instructors increase performance and long-term athletic development.
