Interventions
Randomized-controlled, double-blind. Experimental group: 17 physically active men, with no history of recent injuries to the lower limbs, who were submitted to a muscular effort protocol of running do
2) Assessment of architectural parameters and muscle quality by means of ultrasonography (with 3 repeated measurements for each point to be analyzed: tibialis anterior, vastus lateralis and rectus fem
3) Determination of general and specific TMD by means of algometry (anterior tibialis, vastus lateralis and rectus femoris)
4) Performing a maximum progressive test on a treadmill
5) Evaluation of concentric and eccentric torque of knee extensors and flexors using an isokinetic dynamometer
6) Carrying out the simulated downhill run
7) Application of the intermittent pneumatic compression boot on one of the limbs and therapeutic ultrasound as a placebo on the opposite limb. (paired draw) for 30 minutes, with a standard pressure o
