Abstract(s)
Os efeitos de agentes térmicos como o gelo e o calor húmido a nível terapêutico são inegáveis, razão pela qual estes são parte integrante na maior parte dos tratamentos a nível clínico. No entanto, ao nível da performance muscular existem ainda muitas dúvidas e/ou precauções quanto à aplicação de um agente térmico, com o objetivo de melhorar o desempenho muscular. Este estudo de caráter experimental teve como objetivo verificar se existe algum efeito por parte da temperatura no valor do Peak Torque, Total Work, Average Power e Work Fatigue do quadríceps. Estes parâmetros podem-nos fornecer importantes dados relativamente ao recrutamento de força, bem como aos fatores que a influenciam. Neste estudo participaram 6 voluntários sendo 2 do sexo masculino e 4 do sexo feminino (23,6 ± 2,3 anos). Este estudo revelou que o calor húmido contribuiu para o aumento dos valores do Peak Torque e Total Work, a uma velocidade de 300º/s.

This experimental design study aimed to verify if there is any effect of temperature on the value of Peak Torque, Total Work, Average Power, and Work Fatigue of quadriceps. These parameters can provide us with important data regarding muscle recruiting force and the various factors influencing it. In this study, there were 6 volunteers, 2 males, and 4 females (23.6 ± 2.3 years old). In this study, results were found, with the application of heat, at the Peak Torque and Total Work, at a velocity of 300º/s.
