Values expressed as mean ± standard deviation (95% confidence interval for mean); Tc, contraction time; Dm, radial displacement; UT, untreated leg; T, treated leg, MT, manual therapy; MV, mechanical vibration; PT, percussion therapy; FR, foam roller. Post-0, values obtained immediately after the intervention.
