Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome 1: We hope to identify whether muscle strength irradiation techniques, induced by resisted isometric contraction of the hip flexors at 70% of the maximum voluntary isometric contraction, could positively interfere with the handgrip strength measured contralaterally. ;Expected outcome 2: It was hoped to observe an attenuation of the progressive reduction in strength over multiple repeated maximal tests.;Outcome found 1: Strength maintenance was more evident in the test phase, suggesting that the contralateral irradiation resulting from isometric hip flexion mitigated neuromuscular fatigue in the upper limbs.;Outcome found 2: It was observed that the participants in the irradiation group showed a significant attenuation in the reduction of handgrip strength (p < 0.05) during the maximum repeated tests, compared to the control group. | — |
