简要总结
Optimizing sports performance depends on the interaction of physiological, biomechanical, and neuromuscular factors. In recent years, interest has increased in the relationship between stomatognathic function and athletic performance, particularly regarding the possible role of occlusal splints in neuromuscular activation. This study evaluated the effect of a customized occlusal splint on the increase of Concurrent Activation Potentiation.

结局指标
主要结局
swimming performance
时间窗: Measurements were taken during the training sessions, in day 1
swimming performance was quantified as pace in 100 meters and 50 meters freestyle, both measured in seconds with a digital stopwatch (SRUIS, ZSD013, France). For each participant and distance, three consecutive trials were recorded under standardized conditions, and averaged for statistical analysis
次要结局
- Stroke efficiency(Measurements were taken during the training sessions, in day 1)
