---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Change in average power measured through isokinetic dynamometer | Measured through isokinetic dynamometry. The analyzed variable will be average power (in watts). | Baseline and immediately after the intervention protocol. | |
Secondary | Change in Muscle activation measured through surface electromyography | Measured by surface electromyography. The analyzed variable will be the amplitude of muscle activation (in microvolts). | Baseline and immediately after the intervention protocol. | |
Secondary | Change in Balance measured through baropodometry | Measured by baropodometry. The analyzed variable will be the oscilation of center of pressure (in mm). | Baseline and immediately after the intervention protocol . | |
Secondary | Change in peak torque normalized by body weight measured through isokinetic dynamometer | Measured through isokinetic dynamometry. The analyzed variable will be a combination of peak torque normalized by body weight (in percentage). | Baseline and immediately after the intervention protocol. | |
Secondary | Change in total work measured through isokinetic dynamometer | Measured through isokinetic dynamometry. The analyzed variable will be total work (in joules). | Baseline and immediately after the intervention protocol. | |
Secondary | Change in peak torque measured through isokinetic dynamometer | Measured through isokinetic dynamometry. The analyzed variable will be peak torque (in Newtons). | Baseline and immediately after the intervention protocol. |
