What this Trial Is About
This is a two-group randomized clinical trial (includes an experimental and a placebo group) to verify the effects of the Myofascial Reorganization (RMF) compared to the placebo-RMF technique on running performance and thermographic, biomechanical, and viscoelastic proprieties of lower limbs of male triathletes. Data collection will be carried out one week before the first intervention session, and one week after the last intervention session. Anthropometric characteristics (height and weight), lower limbs, and biomechanical, viscoelastic, and thermographic properties will be collected before any exercise tests. After this, the athlete will be submitted to: a 10-minute protocol to verify running economy on the treadmill, followed by an incremental test on the treadmill, and a time to exhaustion test. Evaluation procedures will carried out one week before (0 weeks) and one week after (7th week) the experimental/placebo intervention. Intervention sessions will occur during six weeks, twice a week, each session lasting up to 30 minutes.
