Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Muscle activity (microVolts)	Change between baseline(immediately before intervention) and post intervention (immediately after intervention	sEMG is a NON-invasive method that measures the electrical activity of the muscle generated by the passage of the nerve impulse, which causes depolarization of the muscle cell membrane during excitation. Once the muscle is contracted and receives electrical signals, the electrodes pick up these signals and record them on the device application.

Secondary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Jump Force (Newtons)	Change between baseline(immediately before intervention) and post intervention (immediately after intervention)	Jump Force will be measured using the Myjump app
Jump speed (m/s)	Change between baseline(immediately before intervention) and post intervention (immediately after intervention)	Jump Speed will be measured using the Myjump app
Jump Height (cm)	Change between baseline(immediately before intervention) and post intervention (immediately after intervention)	Jump Height will be measured using the Myjump app
