Eligibility

Age
18 Years to 35 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Subjects of both genders; healthy; aged between 18 and 35 years; physically active according to the International Physical Activity Questionnaire classification; who do not have cardiorespiratory, osteomioarticular or neurological diseases that affect the ability to exercise; do not have tendinopathies, ruptures or history of Calcaneal Tendon surgeries; not be diabetic, hypertensive or have varicose veins or arterial and vascular diseases in the calf region

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Volunteers who in the evaluation report pain on palpation of the calcaneal tension; those who were unable to complete the exercise protocol; those who during the intervention period present some systemic disease; not perform any of the pre-established assessments in the study

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Expected outcome: increase in temperature of the Achilles tendon after eccentric or isometric exercise after the execution of the intervention protocol and an intensification of the increase in temperature of the Achilles tendon when the exercise protocol is preceded by photobiomodulation.;Outcome found: the Achilles tendon temperature in isotonic exercise was higher than in isometric exercise in times related to during and post-exercise and the intervention preceded by FBM did not significantly influence the temperature.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
No secondary outcomes expected.
