| Résumé : | Introduction Cold spray is a form of cryotherapy used in acute injuries at sports medicine. In the current study, we aimed to investigate the acute effect of cold spray application as a treatment strategy for acute sports injuries on the mechanical properties of the rectus femoris muscle in athletes. Methods The study included 23 volunteer active male athletes between the ages of 18?23 with a subepidermal fold thickness of the rectus femoris muscle between 5 mm and 15 mm. Skin temperature (thermal camera) and mechanical property evaluations of the muscle (Myoton Pro) were measured before, immediately after, and in 2 min, 5 min, 10 min and 15 min intervals following cold spray application. Results The skin temperature value of the athletes were significantly lower even in the 15-min interval following application (p |
