assessment of strengthening exercise during the application of dry cupping in normal adults
Read the detailed description
this study will be conducted to answer the following questions: is the application of dry cupping will be effective during strengthening biceps muscle in normal adults who randomly assigned to 2 groups
- Conditions
- Normal Adults, Student Education
- Being tested
- curl exericse, dry cupping and curl exercise
- Keywords
- adults, dry cupping, muscle strength
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
curl exericseProcedure or surgery
Also called curl exercise
we use the curl exercise for control group to investigate the immediate effect of it on muscle strength in normal adults
dry cupping and curl exerciseProcedure or surgery
use dynamometer to measure biceps muscle strength in normal adults during the application of dry cupping with curl exercise
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| control group | Active comparator | using dynamometer for the immediate effect of strengthening exercise for biceps muscle (biceps curl) without the application of dry cupping Receives: Procedure: curl exericse |
| experimental group | Experimental | using dynamometer for the immediate effect of strengthening exercise for biceps muscle during the application of dry cupping Receives: Procedure: dry cupping and curl exercise |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
strength of biceps muscle
use active force 2 dynamometer to measure the strength of biceps muscle
Measured: Day 1
