Summary

This study aims to evaluate on an acute session of the central and peripheral contributions of electrical stimulation on the muscle belly of the triceps surae, electrical stimulation of the tibial nerve and voluntary exercise of the triceps surae muscle, and identify responders individuals and non-responders to stimulation of the tibial nerve. Another objective of the study is to compare the effects of conventional electrical stimulation applied to the sciatic triceps muscle, tibial nerve stimulation and voluntary exercise after eight weeks of training in healthy individuals.

Conditions

  • Electrical Stimulation

Interventions

OTHER

Voluntary exercise

The participants will perform 36 maximal voluntary contractions, 3 times per week for 8 weeks.

OTHER

Wide pulse responder group

The participants will perform 36 contractions with the following current parameters: pulsed current (100 Hz, pulse duration 1 ms, Ton: 6 s, Toff: 18 s), 3 times per week for 8 weeks. This group will be classified in responder group in acute fase.

OTHER

Wide pulse non responder group

The participants will perform 36 contractions with the following current parameters: pulsed current (100 Hz, pulse duration 1 ms, Ton: 6 s, Toff: 18 s), 3 times per week for 8 weeks. This group will be classified in non responder group in acute fase.

OTHER

Pulsed current group

The participants will perform 36 contractions with the following current parameters: pulsed current (100 Hz, pulse duration 250 μs, Ton: 6 s, Toff: 18 s), 3 times per week for 8 weeks.
