Summary

Vikocoolant spray, also known as cold spray; It is a form of cryotherapy (cold treatment) used in sports medicine, athletic training, sports competitions and rehabilitation environments. It has been demonstrated in the literature that local cold application may cause increased resistance to movement. It has been reported in some studies that muscle can change its mechanical properties in a short time. However, the effect of cold spray application on the mechanical properties of the muscle is unknown. Therefore, in the current study proposal, the investigators aim to investigate the acute effect of cold spray application on the mechanical properties of the quadriceps muscle in athletes.

Conditions

  • Cold
  • Spray
  • Muscle
  • Athletic Injuries

Interventions

OTHER

Clorethyl cold spray® (Vapocoolant spray)

From the anterior superior of the dominant legs to the spinal iliac, the upper part of the patella will be measured and the center point will be marked. Cold spray will be applied to this point and its surroundings. The ethyl chloride spray bottle will be kept approximately 30 cm from the skin. An ethyl chloride stream will be applied at a 45 ° angle for 15 seconds (Shadgan et al., 2015). Skin temperature and mechanical properties of muscle; will be measured before, immediately after, 2 minutes, 5 minutes and 15 minutes after cold application.
