Official title

Analysis of Muscle Strength and Stiffness and the Effect of Manual Therapy on the Time Travel Speed of Kart Drivers

Overview

The aim of this study was to: (i) assess the impact of maximal muscle strength and stiffness on EMG and Myoton parameters for selected upper limb muscles; and (ii) assess how manipulation of the initial 2-s tension phase, in particular involving muscle stretching, affects these EMG and Myoton parameters during karting training.

Detailed description

EMG and Myoton measurements will be performed on selected muscles of the shoulder joint and forearm during karting drivers' training, initially at the beginning, after the athletes perform their first 8-minute run, after manipulation and after another 8-minute run.

Interventions

  • Other Manual therapy
    This technique involves a low-amplitude, high-velocity push on the shoulder and elbow joints with an additional two-second tension
  • Other Placebo
    Performing manipulations without a two-second preliminary tension of the joint capsule in the shoulder and elbow joints.

Primary outcome measures

  • Assessment of MVC. [Time frame: The study will be conducted 4 times during one training session (before the intervention, after the intervention, after race 1 and after race 2). Each isometric muscle test lasts 3 seconds.]
  • 2 Assessment of MVC. [Time frame: The study will be conducted 4 times during one training session (before the intervention, after the intervention, after race 1 and after race 2).Each isometric muscle test lasts 3 seconds.]
  • 3. Muscle stiffness [Time frame: The study will be conducted 4 times during one training session (before the intervention, after the intervention, after race 1 and after race 2). Each Myoton application lasts 1 sec for one point.]
