Abstract

In general, different training practice times may be associated with altered neuromuscular response in athletes during periods of acute fatigue and in response to post-effort recovery methods. The present investigation was purposed to analyze the electromyographic performance of knee extensor muscles after fatigue and cold-water immersion in university athletes with different practice times. Participants (n=24) were divided into two groups according to practical experience: G1 (6.60±0.70 years) and G2 (11.57±0.44 years); electromyography procedures were performed during an isometric knee extensor exercise. There were no differences in the comparisons between groups (p>0.05). Considering the moment of analysis, root mean square (RMS) measurements of the vastus lateralis and vastus medialis muscle were higher at the post-cryotherapy moment, when compared to the initial and post-exhaustion moments (p<0.001). No changes were observed in relation to muscle strength. In conclusion, neuromuscular performance of knee extensor muscles was not affected by the history of sports practice in university athletes.
