The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two recovery methods after fatigue in young athletes. It aims to find out if tecar therapy (TECAR) or cycle ergometer exercise can improve recovery after intense physical activity and help athletes return to their normal performance more quickly.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does TECAR or cycle ergometer improve physical performance after fatigue?
Do these methods reduce muscle pain and soreness after fatigue?
Researchers will compare TECAR with active recovery using a cycle ergometer to see which method is more effective.
Participants will:
Perform a series of jumps to induce fatigue
Be randomly assigned to one of the recovery methods
Complete physical tests before and after fatigue
Undergo simple measurements of muscle condition and pain
Report their level of effort and muscle soreness
Adults aged 18 years or older
Engaging in regular physical activity
Experience with sports involving jumping or plyometric exercises
Performed intense physical exercise within 24 hours before the study
Planned to perform intense physical exercise within 24 hours after the study
Presence of muscle soreness at the beginning of the study
Musculoskeletal injury in the previous 6 months
