Myofascial Release and Muscle Activity

NCT04808024 | Unknown

• 1 other identifier: SMR and muscle
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 40
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to assess the impact of SMR intervention in the hamstring muscles on the activity of the biceps and gluteus muscles.

Conditions

Self Myofascial Release; Muscle Tone Abnormalities

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• 1. Surface electromyography (sEMG) examination before SMR

  The sEMG examination of the biceps and gluteus muscles will be performed using the MyoTrace 400 recorder by Noraxon USA Inc. with a sampling frequency of 1000 Hz, using the bipolar method, in accordance with SENIAM standards.The bioelectrical activity of the muscles will be tested during the squat.

  Before the SMR intervention

• Surface electromyography (sEMG) examination immediately after SMR

  The change in bioelectrical activity of the biceps and gluteus muscles will be performed. The bioelectrical activity of the muscles will be tested during the squat.

  Immediately after the SMR intervention

• Surface electromyography (sEMG) examination 5 minutes after SMR

  The change in bioelectrical activity of the biceps and gluteus muscles will be performed. The bioelectrical activity of the muscles will be tested during the squat.

  5 minutes after the SMR intervention

EXPERIMENTAL

The players of amateur football leagues who will receive SelfMyofascial Release intervention

Procedure: SelfMyofascial Release

Control group

NO INTERVENTION

The players of amateur football leagues who will receive no intervention

Interventions

SelfMyofascial Release PROCEDURE

Myofascial auto-release consisted of rolling the roller on a group of knee flexors for 3.5 minutes between the sciatic tumor and the knee joint in both directions, omitting the popliteal fossa. Before and after the intervention, sEMG of the biceps and gluteal muscles will be performed.
