Sponsor's own description
The main objective of the present study was to evaluate whether FR massage is effective in improving dynamic balance, flexibility and dynamic strength after intense exercise recovery compared to OMPT protocol or a control group. The present study was a randomized controlled trial. Amateur athletes will be recruited from two athletic clubs. Participants will be randomizing and allocating into three non-balanced groups through a computer software by an external assistant who will be blinding to the study objectives: FR group (n = 18), OMPT group (n = 15) and control group (CG) (n = 14). The intervention period will be lasting one day (1 session). Participant assessment will be perform twice: prior to the study (pre-intervention) and immediately after finishing the intervention (post-intervention). Interventions: FR group. FR auto-massage will place the foam roller between their ischial tuberosity and a hard surface (i.e., the floor) with their legs held in an extended position, keeping their ankles relaxed and oriented upward. For FR in the lumbar region, participants use their weight to slide the FR through the erector of the lumbar and thoracic spine. The total approximate duration will be about 10-15 minutes; OMPT group. Based on the protocol used by Espí-López et al.: a) Unspecific and bilateral lumbar thrust (L5-S1), one of each side were performed; The total duration will be approximately 10-15 minutes.; CG. The CG did not receive any intervention. Outcomes will be Lumbar flexibility, Hip flexion, Dynamic balance, Standing Jump and Impression of Change.
