Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The following primary outcome measures are assessed at rest (before intervention), immediately post-intervention at 5-30 minutes, and 1, 24 and 48 hours, and 1, 2, and 3 months: 1. Muscle tone (T [Hz]) measured using the Myoton device (Myoton AS, Myoton Ltd, Estonia 2021) 2. Elasticity (E [arb- relative arbitrary unit]) measured using the Myoton device (Myoton AS, Myoton Ltd, Estonia 2021) 3. Maximum isometric Force (Fmax [kgf]) measured using the Force Decks measurement platform (Vald Performance Australia) 4. Reactive Strength Index (RSI [m.s-1]) assessed using the Force Decks measurement platform (Vald Performance Australia) 5. The angle of Pennation Muscle (PA- [%]) measured using an ultrasound device (Sonoscape P20, China 2022) 6. Transcutaneous electromyographic examination, EMG device (Deymed TruScan 2022) (added 04/12/2024) 7. Measurement of the displacement of the center of gravity in(cm 2) measured using a pedobarographic platform (Pedobarograph MPS 120 Italy 2019)(added 28/01/2025) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Muscle Thickness (MT) measured using ultrasound imaging before the intervention, after the intervention and at 24 hours, 48 hours and 1 week after the intervention 2. Subjective fatigue level measured using the Borg fatigue scale questionnaire before the intervention, after the intervention and at 24 hours, 48 hours and 1 week after the intervention 3. Running Speed (m/s) measured using a stopwatch or timing device on a track before the intervention, after the intervention and at 24 hours, 48 hours and 1 week after the intervention 4. Perfusion Parameters (TR, BZ, BZ/RF Index) measured using a perfusion monitoring device (e.g., Laser Doppler flowmetry) before the intervention, during the intervention (for BZ), after the intervention and at 24 hours, 48 hours and 1 week after the intervention 5.Survey study of the perception of the role of regeneration and motor preparation in sports (added 04/12/2024) | — |
