Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Delayed onset muscular soreness will be main outcome of the study and will be assessed through the Analogue Visual Scale. We will observe the pain level during the three days of assessment and our hypothesis is that the experimental group would show lower rates of pain;Muscle strength or peak torque will also be considered as main outcome. We will observe their behavior before and after training and after intervention. For this purpose, an isokinetic dynamometer will be used to verify peak torque of knee extensors. The experimental groups are expected to return to baseline levels more rapidly when compared to control groups. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The presentation for funtional performance will be made through evaluation of triple hop test, where the individual will perform before and after training and after intervention. Our hypothesis is that participants from the experimental groups return to baseline values more quickly qhen compared to control groups.;There will be presentation of Creatine Kinase (CK) levels to analyze muscle damage generated by the proposed exercise | — |
