Manual Therapy: This technique involves a low-amplitude, high-velocity push on the shoulder joints with an additional two-second tension
Placebo: This technique involves a low-amplitude, high-velocity push on the shoulder joints with an additional two-second tension
Tape elastic: The following intervention will be performed: application with an elastic band
Study summary
Currently, it is difficult to find studies in the literature assessing the influence of manual therapy on kinetic and kinematic factors for the upper limbs of volleyball players, which in the long run may translate into a reduction in injuries by improving strength and balance in athletes, when planning training or therapy.

Primary outcome measure(s)
Assessment of MVC. — The study will be conducted 3 times: pre-intervention, immediately after the intervention and immediately after training session. Each isometric muscle test lasts 3 seconds. Muscle EMG is an assessment of electrical characteristics during the test, the electrical source of which is the muscle membrane potential, and measured in μV.
Assessment of MVC. — The study will be conducted 3 times: pre-intervention, immediately after the intervention and immediately after training session.Each isometric muscle test lasts 3 seconds. Muscle EMG is an assessment of electrical characteristics during the test, which is measured by the repetition frequency of muscle motor unit discharges, which is measured in Hz, at the same time of the test.Time
Muscle stiffness — The study will be conducted 3 times: pre-intervention, immediately after the intervention and immediately after training session. Each Myoton application lasts 1 sec for one point. Muscle stiffness - characteristic resistance to physical contraction, which deforms initially forming. Stiffness (N/m) was calculated as S = amax.mprobe/Δl.
