Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Percutaneous Peripheral Nerve Stimulation is a relative new intervention applied by physical therapists. Although it has been hypothesized that this technique could improve pain and function, no studies have investigated changes in physical performance in soccer players. This study will evaluate changes in physical performance after the application of Percutaneous Peripheral Nerve Stimulation in a sample of healthy soccer players.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Percutaneous Peripheral Nerve Stimulation

Participants assigned to this group will received two sessions (once per week) of ultrasound guided Percutaneous Peripheral Nerve Stimulation targeting the femoral nerve. We will apply a biphasic compensated electrical current at a frequency of 10 Hz, a pulse width of 240 µs and intensity allowed over a pain-free motor threshold (muscle contraction). Each participant will receive 10 repetitions of 10 seconds each one with 10 seconds rest- period between series (total treatment session 1.40 min).

After that participants will walk during 3 minutes.
