Interventions
This is a randomized, double-blind, two-arm crossover clinical trial that will analyze 15 male water polo athletes aged 16 to 25 years old, recruited from a sports training center in the city of Bauru
biomechanical, through maximum isometric torque of hip adductors, electromyography of the hip and gluteus medius muscles
and physiological, through the analysis of serum markers of muscle damage and inflammation and heart rate variability. After the initial evaluation, the participants will be randomly divided into two
