Eligibility
Age
18 Years to 40 Years
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: The sample will consist of healthy; university students; of both sexes; aged 18 and 40; who will be recruited on São Cristóvão campus of Federal University of Sergipe; through personal contacts with them on campus facilities and dissemination by email; irregularly active; and have not performed resistance training of the muscles of the upper limbs for two months prior to the survey. The short version of the international physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ), validated in portuguese, will be used to ensure the eligibility of the sample.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: They have any musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, neurological or systemic disorder that can be exacerbated by strenuous exercise (eg, recent injury; chronic pain; heart disease). Potential medical contraindications for the study of exercise protocol will be further evaluated using a questionnaire prepared by the author, based on the physical activity readiness questionnaire (PAR-Q, 2011). The subjects who have had some experience with TENS or any contraindication to prevent the use of electrical stimulation, such as allergy to the material of the electrodes; cardiac pacemaker use; pregnancy; epilepsy; altered skin conditions or loss of feeling in areas established for electrode placement.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Reduction of pain intensity assessed by the numerical scale of pain, at rest and during exercise, in the immediate evaluation and after 24 hours; Reduction of the pain threshold by pressure evaluated by the measurement of pressure pain threshold, immediately after exercise and after 24 hours. Central pain inhibition assessed by temporal summation, immediately after exercise, and after 24 hours; Conditional modulation of pain assessed by conditioned pain modulation test, immediately after exercise, and after 24 hours. Reduction of body temperature, evaluated by thermography, immediately after exercise and after 24 hours. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Reduction or control of heart rate, measured by pulse oximetry, immediately after exercise; Reduction or control of blood pressure, evaluated by sphygmomanometer, after exercise; Reduction or control of respiratory rate, assessed by observation of respiratory incursions per minute immediately after exercise; Reduction or control of peripheral oxygen saturation, measured by pulse oximetry, immediately after exercise; Improvement of the functionality, by means of the evaluation of the disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand questionnaire, after 24h; Reduction of fatigue, at rest and during exercise, measured by the BORG questionnaire, immediately after exercise and after 24 hours; Increased physical tolerance, measured by the time of isometric contraction, immediately after exercise and after 24 hours; | — |
