Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Maximum isometric force evaluated by isokinetic dynamometer, the magnitude of the force produced in N.m will be used for comparison between the moments evaluated (pre and post test);Concentration of cretin kinase was evaluated by centrifugation of 8 Ml of blood, confirmed from an increase with statistical significance (p< 0.05) in the comparison between the pre and post intervention measurements.;Muscle swelling assessed by ultrasonography; verified from an increase with statistical significance (p< 0.05) in the comparison between pre- and post-intervention measurements. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Muscle pain assessed by analogous visual scale, with a "zero" (no pain) scale at "ten" (maximum tolerated pain). verified from an increase with statistical significance (p< 0.05) in the comparison between pre- and post-intervention measurements.;Local temperature, evaluated by means of a thermostat, being considered a significant increase from the observation of a variation of at least 10% in the pre- and post-intervention measurements.;Range of motion, assessed by means of goniometer, being considered an important increase with values with statistical significance (p< 0.05) in the comparison between the pre and post intervention measurements. | — |
