Leg's musculoskeletal injuries

Interventions

The participants will be divided into 3 groups: 2 intervention groups (G1 and G2) and control group (CG). Each group will have 20 participants. Groups: Cold water immersion - G1 (15 minutes
9±1ºC) Cold water immersion - G2 (15 minutes
14±1ºC) Control - CG (15 minutes
setead) Immediately after the eccentric exercise protocol, participants in the intervention group will be immersed to the level of the iliac crest for 15 minutes at a temperature of 9±1°C or 14±1°C.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Expected outcome: Reduction of muscle soreness, assessed by a visual analog scale of pain (VAS). It was considered the value between 0 - 10. Time points to evaluation: baseline, 40 minutes, 24h, 48h, 72h and 96h post-exercise.;Outcome found: Reduction of muscle soreness, assessed by a visual analog scale of pain (VAS). It was considered the value between 0-10, during maximal voluntary contraction. Comparative analysis was performed between groups and between times. Assessment in moments: Time points to evaluation: baseline, 40 minutes, 24h, 48h, 72h and 96h post-exercise.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Expected outcome (1): sensitivity alteration, assessed by pressure algometer given in kgf. It was considered the minimum discomfort value. Time points to evaluation: baseline, 40 minutes, 24h, 48h, 72h and 96h after exercise. Expected outcome (2): Analysis of creatine kinase concentration, assessed using the Reflotron Plus. Time points to evaluation: baseline, 24h, 48h, 72h and 96h after exercise. Expected outcome (3): decreased muscle strength, evaluated by means of isokinetic dynamometer, in isometric condition in 3 repetition of 5 seconds. Time points to evaluation: baseline, 40 minutes, 24h, 48h, 72h and 96h after exercise. Expected outcome (4): perception of recovery evaluated using a Likert scale. It was considered the value between 0 - 10. Time points to evaluation: baseline, 40 minutes, 24h, 48h, 72h and 96h after exercise.;Outcome found (1): sensitivity alteration, assessed by pressure algometer given in kgf. It was considered the minimum discomfort value in the lower limb with the relaxed muscle. Comparative analysis was performed between groups and between times. Time points to evaluation: baseline, 40 minutes, 24h, 48h, 72h and 96h after exercise. Outcome found (2): Analysis of creatine kinase concentration evaluated CK tapes in Reflotron Plus, by a finger prick . Comparative analysis was performed between groups and between times. Time points to evaluation: baseline, 24h, 48h, 72h and 96h after exercise. Outcome found (3): decreased muscle strength, evaluated by means of isokinetic dynamometer, in isometric condition. The value given was the best of three repetition of 5 seconds each. Comparative analysis was performed between groups and between times. Time points to evaluation: baseline, 40 minutes, 24h, 48h, 72h and 96h after exercise. Outcome found(4): perception of recovery evaluated using a Likert scale. It was considered the value answered between 0-10, 10 being fully recovered. Comparative analysis was performed between groups and between times.
