The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effectiveness of Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training compared to traditional high-intensity training in adolescent basketball players aged 16-18. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does BFR training improve muscle strength more effectively than traditional high-intensity training? Does BFR training enhance jump height and ground reaction force (GRF) while reducing mechanical load? Researchers will compare BFR training to traditional high-intensity training to see if BFR training offers greater improvements in muscle strength, jump height, and GRF while potentially reducing knee joint stress. Participants will: Be randomly assigned to either the BFR training group or the high-intensity training group. Undergo performance evaluations, including measurements of muscle strength, jump height, and GRF at three time points throughout the study. Follow a training protocol specific to their assigned group
