Methods: Cross-sectional and quantitative study, with 20 university women randomly divided into two groups: TENS Group (GT) whose participants were submitted to a 45 min TENS session with a frequency of 120 Hz and a pulse duration of 100 µs and Cryotherapy Group (CG), whose participants were submitted to a cryotherapy session for 20 min.
