Control
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Muscle activity (microVolts)
Time Frame: Change between baseline(immediately before intervention) and post intervention (immediately after intervention
sEMG is a NON-invasive method that measures the electrical activity of the muscle generated by the passage of the nerve impulse, which causes depolarization of the muscle cell membrane during excitation. Once the muscle is contracted and receives electrical signals, the electrodes pick up these signals and record them on the device application.
Secondary Outcomes
- Jump Height (cm)(Change between baseline(immediately before intervention) and post intervention (immediately after intervention))
- Jump speed (m/s)(Change between baseline(immediately before intervention) and post intervention (immediately after intervention))
- Jump Force (Newtons)(Change between baseline(immediately before intervention) and post intervention (immediately after intervention))
