Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Femoral quadriceps strength, after application of myofascial release, obtained by isokinetic dynamometer. The variable of interest is the peak torque | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Application times of the myofascial release. It is expected that the myofascial release applied for 5 minutes will have more effect on femoral quadriceps muscle strength when compared to the 3 minute application time and placebo group. The variables of interest are peak torque, total work and power, also obtained through the isokinetic dynamometer | — |
