Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Delay time change	Time between an electric impulse and 10% of the contraction of the muscle that is being excited with an electric impulse, using an electromyography test (miliseconds).	2 minutes before the intervention, and 8 minutes after the intervention
Primary	Contraction time change	Time between 10% and 90% of the contraction of the muscle that is being excited with an electric impulse, using an electromyography test (miliseconds).	2 minutes before the intervention, and 8 minutes after the intervention
Primary	Sustain time change	time between 50% of the contraction and 50% of the relaxation of the muscle after being impulsed with an electric impulse, using an electromyography test (miliseconds).	2 minutes before the intervention, and 8 minutes after the intervention
Primary	Relaxation time change	time between 90% and 50% of the relaxation of the muscle after being impulsed with an electric impulse, using an electromyography test (miliseconds).	2 minutes before the intervention, and 8 minutes after the intervention
Primary	Maximal displacement change	Maximal displacement of the muscle after being excited with an electric impulse, using an electromyography test (miliseconds).	2 minutes before the intervention, and 8 minutes after the intervention
Secondary	Gastrocnemious strength change	Isometric strength of the gastrocnemious muscles using a handheld dynamometer "microFET 2" (newtons).	8 minutes before the intervention, and 2 minutes after the intervention
Secondary	Passive ankle dorsiflexion change	Passive range of motion of the ankle dorsiflexion, using an inclinometer (degrees).	6 minutes before the intervention, and 4 minutes after the intervention
Secondary	Jump height change	Maximum jump height with one leg using the application "My Jump 2" (centimeters).	10 minutes before the intervention, and 1 minute after the intervention
Secondary	Stiffness change	Resistance to an external force that deforms its initial shape, using a "Myoton".	5 minute before the intervention, and 5 minute after the intervention
Secondary	Elasticity change	Capacity to recover its initial shape after the removal of the external force that lead to its deformation, using a "Myoton".	5 minute before the intervention, and 5 minute after the intervention
Secondary	Relaxation change	Time for a muscle to recover its shape from deformation after the removal of an external force, using a "Myoton" (miliseconds).	5 minute before the intervention, and 5 minute after the intervention
