Study summary

The objectives of this study is to determine the immediate and 10 minutes follow-up effects of a warm-up based on a continous run on a treadmill or the application of a hot-pack in athletes with previous hamstring injury. The investigators have as an hypothesis that the subjects, after one of this interventions show statistically significant improvements in the measurements of pain, flexibility, proprioception and postural control

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Range of movement

    degrees

    Time frame: Changes from baseline at immediately after and at 10 minutes after the intervention

  2. Pain

    Visual Analogue Scale. From 0 (not pain) to 10 (maximum pain in the world)

    Time frame: Changes from baseline at immediately after and at 10 minutes after the intervention

Secondary outcomes

  1. Pressure pain threshold (PPT)

    Measurement of the pressure (kg/cm2) with an algometer

    Time frame: Changes from baseline at immediately after and at 10 minutes after the intervention

  2. Joint Position Sense

    Degrees

    Time frame: Changes from baseline at immediately after and at 10 minutes after the intervention
