Brief summary: Purpose of the study is; to investigate the acute effects of exercises combined with blood flow restriction on strength, proprioception and functional motor performance in healthy individuals. The investigators hypothesized that blood flow restriction exercises has a positive effect on strength, proprioception and functional motor performance.

Detailed description: 60 healthy individuals will randomized into 3 groups of 20 people each. Participants will be held in a familiarization session before 3-4 days the actual evaluation. Elbow bending exercises with blood flow restriction will be performed to the blood flow restriction (BFR) group, elbow bending exercises without blood flow restriction will be performed to the exercise group and control group will not receive any interventions. Participants will be evaluated before and after the exercise session. Control group is going to rest for 10 minutes before the second evaluation. Evaluation protocol includes; muscle strength measurement with digital hand dynamometer, shoulder and elbow proprioception evaluation with inclinometer, Upper Extremity Closed Kinetic Chain Stabilization Test, Functional Throwing Performance Index and Modified Pull-Up Test.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Being between the ages of 18-40
* Do not smoke
* Having full range of motion in neck, shoulder, and elbow
* Body mass index (BMI)˂30 kg/m2
* Able to complete the entire study procedure

Exclusion Criteria:

* Having fracture and surgical history for the upper extremity, cervical or thoracic area
* Having any systemic musculoskeletal disease
* Having neck and upper extremity pain
* Having a diagnosis of scoliosis and chest deformity
* Regularly playing sports with overhead activities (tennis, volleyball, handball, etc.)
* Have been exercising regularly for the last 6 months
* A history of anemia
* A history of cerebrovascular disease or myocardial infarction
