Brief Summary:
Introduction. Basketball is a predominantly anaerobic exercise that exposes to high intensity actions (jumps, speed control, accelerations and decelerations, and changes of direction). A lack of flexibility can affect the appearance of muscle injuries. Foam roller is a myofascial self-release technique using a foam roller. The suction cups are an instrumental technique where the negative pressure produces an increase in the blood flow of the tissues.
Goals. To evaluate the effectiveness of a physiotherapy intervention through suction cups and foam roller in amateur basketball players.
Study design. Randomized, single-blind clinical study with a follow-up period. Methodology. The 20 basketball players that are expected to be recruited will be randomly assigned to the two study groups: experimental (suction cups and Foam roller) and control (Foam roller). The intervention will last 4 weeks, with 2 weekly sessions. The study variable will be: hamstring flexibility (measured with finger-ground, Well and Shober tests). The analysis of normality will be carried out with the Shapiro-Wilk test. In case of homogeneity of the groups, we will use parametric tests: t-student test of repeated measures (difference between evaluations) and ANOVA of repeated means (intra and intersubject effect).
Expected results. An intervention using suction cups and foam roller is effective in improving the flexibility of the hamstring muscles in basketball players.
