- Influence of an exercise program in the peroneal reaction timePublication . Ferreira, A.; Monteiro, P.; Carvalho, Paulo; Moreira, CamiloSoccer is the most popular sport in the world and has characteristics which led to high incidence of injuries, which motivate FIFA to develop a program for injury prevention. The peroneal reaction time plays an important role in the prevention of the inversion movement in ankle injuries. This study’s main goal is to verify if such a program promotes changes in the peroneal reaction time. This is a quasi-experimental study with 14 athletes, distributed in two groups, experimental and control. The results show some significant changes in the peroneal reaction time, in response to the exercise program.
- Influence of two tapings on the reaction time of the peroneal musclesPublication . Ferreira, A.; Monteiro, P.; Carvalho, Paulo; Moreira, CamiloThis study aimed to investigate the influence of two different types of tapings on the reaction time of the peroneal muscles, using surface electromyography, in female volleyball athletes with sprain history and indicators of instability. A quasi-experimental study with a sample of 15 athletes was conducted. Adhesive elastic tapings heel-lock and kinesiotape, with peroneus and ligament application, were compared. For data analysis the parametric tests repeated measures ANOVA and T test for paired samples were used. The application of the kinesiotape reduced the reaction time of peroneal muscles significantly while the adhesive elastic band had no significative influence on it.
