An interventional study of Pre-event massage in Neuromuscular Diseases, sponsored by Universitat Internacional de Catalunya. Status unknown at 1 site in Spain. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 40 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2019-05-07.
Sponsored by Universitat Internacional de Catalunya · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
The study observes the effect of a pre-event massage on the gastrocnemius muscles over the neuromuscular response of the gastrocnemious muscles.
300 studies on the registry are indexed under Neuromuscular Diseases; 87 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 30 is close to the median of 32 across 168 interventional studies indexed under Neuromuscular Diseases.

Exclusion Criteria:
Other: Pre-event massage
Five minutes massage, combining superficial and high-frequency techniques of massage applied with the therapist hands
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).
Time frame: 2 minutes before the intervention, and 8 minutes after the intervention
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).
Time frame: 2 minutes before the intervention, and 8 minutes after the intervention
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).
Time frame: 2 minutes before the intervention, and 8 minutes after the intervention
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).
Time frame: 2 minutes before the intervention, and 8 minutes after the intervention
Maximal displacement change
Maximal displacement of the muscle after being excited with an electric impulse, using an electromyography test (miliseconds).
Time frame: 2 minutes before the intervention, and 8 minutes after the intervention
Gastrocnemious strength change
Isometric strength of the gastrocnemious muscles using a handheld dynamometer "microFET 2" (newtons).
Time frame: 8 minutes before the intervention, and 2 minutes after the intervention
Passive ankle dorsiflexion change
Passive range of motion of the ankle dorsiflexion, using an inclinometer (degrees).
Time frame: 6 minutes before the intervention, and 4 minutes after the intervention
Jump height change
Maximum jump height with one leg using the application "My Jump 2" (centimeters).
Time frame: 10 minutes before the intervention, and 1 minute after the intervention
Stiffness change
Resistance to an external force that deforms its initial shape, using a "Myoton".
Time frame: 5 minute before the intervention, and 5 minute after the intervention
Elasticity change
Capacity to recover its initial shape after the removal of the external force that lead to its deformation, using a "Myoton".
Time frame: 5 minute before the intervention, and 5 minute after the intervention
Relaxation change
Time for a muscle to recover its shape from deformation after the removal of an external force, using a "Myoton" (miliseconds).
Time frame: 5 minute before the intervention, and 5 minute after the intervention
