Abstract
This study compares the effect of four weeks of specialized badminton training with blood flow obstruction on psychological characteristics and anxiety in skilled badminton players. In this quasi-experimental study with pre-test and post-test design, elite male and female badminton players of East Azerbaijan province were selected and randomly divided into two groups of training with limited blood flow and training without restriction of blood flow and training program three sessions per week (four They did 60 minutes per session per week. Watson and Friend (1969) questionnaires of psychological readiness and social anxiety were examined in the pre-test. The results showed that performing badminton exercises with and without calorie restriction caused a difference in the total score of mental fitness of the subjects (p <0.05) but no difference was observed in the level of anxiety (p <0.05). Blood flow blocking training methods can create a new path in sports training and cause changes in the level of mental fitness of professional athletes.
