The use of elastic band may generate positive effects on neuromuscular control and movement biomechanics, such as increased joint stability. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of elastic band on ankle muscles cocontraction, kinematics and functional performance in younger
Crossfit® athletes. Participate of this study 21 younger adults (age: 27.1± 5.8 yrs) Crossfit® athletes. In the first day of data collection the follow procedures were performed: maximum isometric contractions for gastrocnemius medialis and anterior tibialis, familiarization and data collection of vertical jump. In the second day of data collection were performed: data collection of functional tests (Multiple Hop Test – MHT; and Star Execution Balance Test - SEBT). All tests were performed in two conditions: with and without the use of elastic band, randomly choose, and an interval of five minutes between each condition. For kinematic analysis was considered the ankle acceleration on the axis: transversal (X) and horizontal (Z), during landing phase of jump. ANOVA one way repeated measures did not found signifi cant difference for co-contraction and kinematics comparison. For the SEBT was found an increment of 3.8 and 5.6% on the maximum reach for antero-medial (p = 0.001) and postero-medial (p = 0.005) positions during the condition with elastic band. During MHT there was a reduction of 5.7 and 7.1% on the time to perform the anterior progression with challenges (p = 0.018 and p = 0.009) in the condition using elastic band. The use of elastic band improves the performance on functional tests in youger Crossfit® athletes, possible it occurred due a placebo effect.
