Muscle fatigue

Interventions

The included subjects will be randomly divided into two groups: effective FBM and placebo FBM. All volunteers will receive both treatments, with a 1-week washout, where each therapy will be crossed. E

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Healthy volunteers; male gender, non-smokers, age between 18 and 30 years, body mass index (BMI) between 18 and 30 kg / m2; volunteers must be rugby athletes for at least 1 year

Exclusion criteria

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Expected outcome 1: Evaluate the acute effects of FBM with full body irradiation applied as preconditioning in rugby athletes on fatigue index (fatigue resistance) during knee flexion and extension, using the isokinetic dynamometry method under test fatigue. A significance level of 5% will be adopted.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Expected outcome 1: To evaluate the acute effects of FBM with full body irradiation applied as preconditioning in rugby athletes on the number of repetitions performed during knee flexion and extension in isokinetic dynamometry in fatigue test. A significance level of 5% will be adopted.;Expected outcome 2: Evaluate the acute effects of FBM with full body irradiation applied as preconditioning in rugby athletes on total work calculated during knee flexion and extension, using the isokinetic dynamometry method in fatigue test. A significance level of 5% will be adopted.;Expected outcome 3: To evaluate the acute effects of FBM with full body irradiation applied as preconditioning in rugby athletes on acceleration time and time to peak torque in maximum knee flexion and extension test, using the method of isokinetic dynamometry in fatigue test. A significance level of 5% will be adopted.;Expected outcome 4: Evaluate the acute effects of FBM with whole body irradiation applied as preconditioning in rugby athletes on torque and peak torque in maximum test of maximum isometric voluntary contraction, using the isokinetic dynamometry method. A significance level of 5% will be adopted.;Expected outcome 5: Evaluate the acute effects of FBM with full body irradiation applied as preconditioning in rugby athletes on acceleration time and time to peak torque in maximum voluntary maximum isometric contraction test, using the dynamometry method isokinetic. A significance level of 5% will be adopted.;Expected outcome 6: Evaluate the acute effects of FBM with whole body irradiation applied as preconditioning in rugby athletes on muscle power in maximum test of maximum isometric voluntary contraction, using the isokinetic dynamometry method. A significance level of 5% will be adopted.;Expected outcome 7: Evaluate the acute effects of FBM with full body irradiation applied as preconditioning in rugby athletes on late-onset muscle pain (numerical verbal scale) 24, 48 and 72 h after maxi
