Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of Deep Oscillation (DO) self-treatment on recovery after fatiguing soccer training. We investigate deep oscillation (DO) self treatment as a measure to promote regeneration, hypothesizing that DO leads to an accelerated recovery within the first 48h after fatiguing training with positive effect on the maximum strength, rated perceived exertion, creatinkinase (CK) values and DOMS compared to no treatment after an .

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Isokinetic maximum leg strength

  Maximum isokinetic strength of the leg- extensors and flexors is tested using a ConTrex isokinetic leg press (Physiomed, Laipers-dorf, Germany).

  prae fatiguing exercise and 48hours post

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Rating of perceived exertion (RPE)

  during isokinetic testing prae fatiguing exercise and 48hours post

• Creatine kinase (CK)

  prae fatiguing exercise and 48hours post

• Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS)

  24hours and 48hours postexercise

Study Arms (2)

Deep Oscillation (DO) self treatment

EXPERIMENTAL

DO self treatment with the device "mobile" (Physiomed, Laipersdorf, Germany; U.S. patent 7,343,203 B2). The device produces an alternating electrostatic field, which results in a low-frequency vibration penetrating the tissue. The Field is pulsed at a frequency of 90 Hz. For self-treatment, each volunteer is given an apparatus to take home. An applicator with a diameter of 9 cm is used. The treatment will be carried out in the morning and evening for 15 minutes each in supine position on a sofa. In accordance with the technique of classical manual lymphatic drainage, stroking and circular movements in the upper and lower leg and the inguinal area take place in a fixed order.

Model Details: A randomized, cross-over, repeated measures design is used to evaluate the effects of DO on recovery. At random in study phase I the half of the group performs a DO self-treatment twice daily (4 applications) for 15 minutes each, whereas the other half gets no intervention. After a washing out period in study phase II a crossover will be performed. The same protocol is performed again, whereas the other half of the participants carries out the DO intervention .
