Summary

This study develops the effects of Capacitive and Resistive Energy Transfer Therapy (TECAR) on medial gastrocnemius using thermographic cameras, algometry and lunge tests, in a pre-post study with basketball players using a control group to which placebo is applied. (simulated technique) and an intervention group to which the technique is performed. The main objective of the study is to establish whether the TECAR produces physiological and mechanical changes in the subjects that improve muscle recovery.

Conditions

• Strain of Gastrocnemius Muscle (Diagnosis)
• Diathermy Plate Burn
• Thermography
• Sports Physical Therapy

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	TECAR Therapy	The intervention will be performed with the T-Care TECAR® therapy machine at the latent trigger points of both gastrocnemius. The professional will apply the therapy with the generator that emits radio frequency signals of 0.5 MHz at a variable power with a maximum of 300W. The frequency to be used will be 500MHz with an intensity of 40% and with direct current.
OTHER	Placebo	simulated TECAR Therapy (machine off)
