ClinConnect Summary

Objectives: to evaluate the intra- and inter-rater reliability of the occlusion pressure generated by TF, investigate the reproducibility of TF application on different days and compare TF with traditional RFS in terms of muscle gains.

Methods: the study is divided into two stages: First stage, randomized controlled crossover clinical trial, 80 healthy individuals aged 18 to 30 years old evaluated to determine the reliability of the TF. Participants will follow one of two types of randomization, with exclusions based on health criteria. Assessments include anthropometric characteristics, d...
