Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Measured at rest, 5 minutes, 24 and 48 hours after the exercise test: 1. Muscle tone (F = Hz), stiffness (S = N/m), flexibility and relaxation (ms) measured with a myotonometer (MyotonPRO AS, Myoton Ltd, Estonia 2021) 2. Muscle strength (W) measured with a hand dynamometer (EH106 China 2020) 3. Perfusion Units (PU) measured with a Laser Doppler Flowmeter (LDF), (Perimed, Sweden 2004) 4. Muscle power (Relative Strength Index [RSI]) measured behind the measurement platform Strength Decks (Vald Performance Australia 2012) or Fmax measured with an electronic hand dynamometer (EH106 China) 2020 | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Measured at rest, 1-5 minutes before the intervention and 1-5 minutes after the intervention, 24 hours and 48 hours: 1. Muscle pain threshold (PT-kG or N) measured with the FDIX algesimeter (Wagner Instruments, Greenwich, CT, USA 2013) 2. Number of jumps made, counted during each exercise test 3.
