Intervention(s)
The intervention will be characterized by the application of an elastic therapeutic bandage, which has an hypoallergenic adhesive. The bandage is attached to the skin, following the muscle and joint anatomy. The tape is permeable and waterproof, and can be used for several days without removal. In the intervention group, the bandage will be applied with 30% tension, having as parameter its resting length. The application will be held over the quadriceps muscle, on the line between its origin and insertion (anterior thigh, between the point 10cm below the anterior superior iliac spine and the tibial tuberosity), and will be kept for 48 hours nonstop, and new applications will not be held. For the control group (placebo), the application will be the same in the intervention group, and will be kept for 48 hours nonstop, and new applications will not be held, however, no tension in the bandage will be applied. The intervention group will consist of fifteen subjects and the control group will consist of fifteen subjects.

Other
Primary Outcome(s)
Increased functional performance, translated by an approximate 10% extensor torque gain generated an isokinetic dynamometer; 15% increase in the distance achieved during jumps and vertical distance
Secondary Outcome(s)
Increased ground reaction force by 10% during the vertical jump, provided with the application of the elastic bandage.
