Summary

It is known that cryotherapy has various therapeutic applications, among which are the control of the inflammatory process, resolution of edema, analgesia and decreased spasticity. In addition, the use of cold as an agent to decrease or facilitate neuromuscular activity has been documented. The scientific information that supports the relationship of short duration cold with the improvement of the motor response is scarce and outdated. The objective of this design is to evaluate the effectiveness of rapid cooling or Quick Icing technique in the improvement of muscular performance. The foregoing would be relevant in the field of Kinesiology (Physiotherapy) because it would attribute cold properties that could influence the increase in muscle strength, favoring the performance of different therapeutic exercises, training or high performance sport, in addition to supporting the proposal of this intervention in patients with particular neurological disorders.

Conditions

  • Muscle Strength

Interventions

DEVICE

Quick icing

Brief Application of cold, for a period of up to 30 seconds on a body surface which seeks to promote the activation of the nervous system to produce increased excitability.

DEVICE

Prolonged Cold

Prolonged application of cold, for at least 5 minutes or more, on a body surface that aims to reduce nervous system activation by reducing the decreased nerve conduction velocity.
