Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected to observe a reduction in muscle fatigue assessed by the visual analog scale ranging from 0 to 10, following the implementation of percussive massage intervention | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Muscle pain in the quadriceps region was assessed as participants performed a squat with their dominant leg, indicating the perceived intensity of muscle pain in the quadriceps on a visual analog scale ranging from 0 to 10;The knee extensor muscle torque was evaluated using the PHYSIOCODE F-01® dynamometer. Three measurements were taken with one-minute intervals, and the maximum recorded value was converted into torque and normalized according to body mass;The vertical jump height in centimeters was assessed using the Baiobit™ inertial sensor. Three jumps were performed with 30-second intervals, and the highest value was recorded | — |
