Post-exercise Therapeutic Modalities on Functional Performance, Muscle Damage and Oxidative Stress of CrossFit® Athletes

A randomized, crossover, controlled trial will be carried out. All volunteers will be allocated to four interventions, and the order of the interventions will be randomized. The outcomes will be assessed at baseline (prior to the Workout of the Day - WOD), and in different timepoints after the WOD. The WOD will be consisted in finishing as quickly as possible a sequence of three exercises (Calories in Assault AirBike®, Hang Squat Clean and Box Jump Over), in a well-known series model for the athletes, without rest. The investigators will analyze functional performance, biochemical markers of muscle damage and oxidative stress, the ratings of perceived exertion, and the volunteers satisfaction with the interventions. All data will be analyzed both in their absolute values and in relation to their percentage variation from the values obtained in the pre-WOD (baseline) assessments.
