Energy Transfer Therapy in Treatment of Medial Gastrocnemius

Effects of Capacitive and Resistive Energy Transfer Therapy in Pre and Post-treatment Medial Gastrocnemius in National Level Basketball Players

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.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Male players
• Semi-professional players who are currently active
• Not have suffered a lower limb injury in the last 6 months before the study
• Not having suffered a rupture of the triceps surae
• Contain a latent trigger point in the medial gastrocnemius

Exclusion Criteria:

• Players suffering from any disease that could alter the study or be contradictory
