Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to evaluate the potential benefits of Monopolar Capacitive Resistive Radio-frequency (448 kHz) on the sports performance of Paralympic swimmers.


Clinical Trial Description

A randomized, double-blind, crossover, controlled and sham-controlled clinical trial Evaluate the effectiveness of resistive capacitive diathermy as sports performance enhancement of Paralympic elite swimmers compared with a "sham" diathermy treatment and with a control group. The resistive capacitive diathermy is a medical device supplying low (448 kHz) radiofrequency with a maximum output power of 200 W, used to improve physiological aspects and theoretically allowing improvement in swimming performance. The sham diathermy treatment is administered with the device set on "on" but not active (not supplying energy) and control group will not receive anything, randomly assigned to either resistive capacitive diathermy treatment (group 1), sham-treatment (group 2) or control (group 3) athletes are submitted to a twenty minutes session prior swimming performance. The main outcome measures are the simulate swimming time trial (seconds) to assess time completing the presented course and Borg Scale for perceived exertion. Outcome measures are administered at completing each time trial. ;
