- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Maximum isometric force evaluated by isokinetic dynamometer, the magnitude of the force produced in N.m will be used for comparison between the moments evaluated (pre and post test);Concentration of cretin kinase was evaluated by centrifugation of 8 Ml of blood, confirmed from an increase with statistical significance (p< 0.05) in the comparison between the pre and post intervention measurements.;Muscle swelling assessed by ultrasonography; verified from an increase with statistical significance (p< 0.05) in the comparison between pre- and post-intervention measurements.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Muscle pain assessed by analogous visual scale, with a zero (no pain) scale at ten (maximum tolerated pain). verified from an increase with statistical significance (p< 0.05) in the comparison between pre- and post-intervention measurements.;Local temperature, evaluated by means of a thermostat, being considered a significant increase from the observation of a variation of at least 10% in the pre- and post-intervention measurements.;Range of motion, assessed by means of goniometer, being considered an important increase with values with statistical significance (p< 0.05) in the comparison between the pre and post intervention measurements.
