This study examines whether local cryostimulation of myofascial trigger points can reduce physiological tremor that occurs after intense physical exercise. Thirty-four adolescent competitive swimmers participate in a randomized crossover study comparing two conditions: local ice stimulation of trigger points and a control condition without intervention. Physiological tremor of the lower limbs is measured using accelerometry before and after a 30-second maximal tethered swimming effort. The study aims to determine whether targeted cryostimulation can attenuate exercise-induced neuromuscular tremor and improve post-exercise motor stability in young athletes.

Exercise-Induced Physiological Tremor of the Lower Limbs
Timeframe: Immediately before and immediately after the 30-second maximal tethered swimming effort during the experimental session.
