Brief Summary:
In this study we intend to apply a treatment protocol for hamstrings that can be beneficial for a good recovery.
Initially, a sample of athletes with hamstring shortening was chosen. Once the sample is chosen, it will be divided into two groups: group 1 (G.1) who will receives a sham massage, group 2 (G.2) that receives the classic massage.
To finalize the study comparing the results of the two groups to observe the experimental protocol obtains better results.
Material and methods The sample of an athletic club. Recruiting subjects between 18 and 45 years old without other injuries of the lower limb. Subjects with shortening of the hamstring muscles are available through the specific shortening test.
This is a randomized controlled trial. Subjects were randomly assigned to two intervention groups (1 treatment and 1 placebo control). The intervention consists of 4 sessions for 1 month. The sessions have a duration of 45 minutes. Evaluations are performed at the beginning of treatment, at the end of treatment. Participants also perform strengthening exercises three days a week, a total of 3 sets with 15 repetitions each.
Group 1 receives a sham massage of the quadriceps and hamstrings. Group 2 receives a classic massage of the quadriceps and hamstrings. The assessments consist of knee and hip goniometry, lumbar and hamstring flexibility by finger-to-floor testing, and complete the questionnaire Mood Status Profile (POMS), Which evaluates the states of mind.
