Abstract
The present study aims to propose a protocol to verify the efficacy and acute effects of traditional Chinese acupuncture, dry needling and rest in peripheral acute fatigue (PAF) induced by intermittent isometric contractions of the non-dominant biceps brachii (BB) of non-physically active men in a randomized, single-blind clinical trial assessed with surface electromyography, contraction time in seconds, infrared thermal imaging, and visual analog scale applied to the PAF. These instruments will evaluate the median frequency, endurance time, temperature (ºC), and perceived fatigue in BB of the volunteers. The measurements will be collected in four moments (Test 0, 01, 02, and 03) divided between the beginning and the end of two sets of exercises (Exercises 01 and 02) of intermittent isometric contractions.
