Conditions

Young people, muscle fatigue, muscle streght

Interventions

Clinical trials will be conducted in three steps of one week each. In the first week, all the 30 participants will be pre-evaluated for maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) of elbow flexion

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Young men; aged between 18 and 25 years; apparently healthy; sedentary.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Individuals who presented with a musculoskeletal disease or trauma in the last three months; those who took supplements or use of medication during the period of their participation in the study; not have consumed alcohol, large amounts of tea or coffee (more than two cups), or any other caffeine-rich food 24 hours before the test; have slept at least 8 hours the night before.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Reduction of post-exertional muscle fatigue. Evaluated by surface electromyography, by the median frequency of the electromyographic signal (FMS). Muscle fatigue is identified by FMS reduction. If there is no reduction greater than 15%, there will be a delay in muscle fatigue.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Improvement in post-exertional muscle metabolism. Evaluated by blood lactate dehydrogenase dosage. A reduction of at least 20% in blood lactate and oxygen consumption will be considered to accept the hypothesis that the laser produced a fatigue retardation effect.
