Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Muscle activity (microVolts)	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.	Change between baseline(immediately before intervention) and post intervention (immediately after intervention
Secondary	Jump Force (Newtons)	Jump Force will be measured using the Myjump app	Change between baseline(immediately before intervention) and post intervention (immediately after intervention)
Secondary	Jump speed (m/s)	Jump Speed will be measured using the Myjump app	Change between baseline(immediately before intervention) and post intervention (immediately after intervention)
Secondary	Jump Height (cm)	Jump Height will be measured using the Myjump app	Change between baseline(immediately before intervention) and post intervention (immediately after intervention)
