Clinical Trial Summary

This study develops the effects of Capacitive and Resistive Energy Transfer Therapy (TECAR) on medial gastrocnemius using thermographic cameras, algometry and lunge tests, in a pre-post study with basketball players using a control group to which placebo is applied. (simulated technique) and an intervention group to which the technique is performed. The main objective of the study is to establish whether the TECAR produces physiological and mechanical changes in the subjects that improve muscle recovery.
