Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Muscle fatigue index. Timepoint: Before and immediately after intervention. Method of measurement: Calculated by Fatigue index = (the maximum power - the minimum power) / the maximum power ×100.;Isokinetic parameters such as average peak torque, average power and total work. Timepoint: Before and immediately after intervention. Method of measurement: Isokinetic system Biodex 4.;Perceived fatigue. Timepoint: Before and immediately after intervention. Method of measurement: Visual analog scale.
