Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of the study is to assess whether soft tissue flossing therapy will alleviate eccentric muscle-destroying influences. Men aged 20-25 will be tested. Suddenly taking up activity in untrained people and performing the fatigue protocol is a heavy burden for the body, and its effects may have a negative impact on the body. The assessment of the processes taking place in the body under the influence of this type of physical activity with the use of soft tissue flossing will broaden the scope of knowledge about this therapeutic method and will allow assessing whether it has an impact on accelerating regeneration after intense physical exertion.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Isokinetic muscle strength
Time Frame: 40 days
Measurements will be performed on an isokinetic dynamometer (Biodex Medical System 4-PRO, New York, USA). According to the manufacturer's protocol, the dynamometer will be calibrated before each test session. The gravity correction will be performed before each series of measurements. Before the intervention, participants will perform a 5-minute warm-up on the bicycle ergometer with a power of 120 W.
Secondary Outcomes
- Soft tissue assessment(40 days)
- Pain assessment - Algometer(40 days)
- Visual Analogue Scale (1-100 mm)(40 days)
- Triple hop jump test(40 days)
- Range of motion(40 days)
