NCT02392962

Brief Summary

All the athletes should perform a warm-up consisting of five minutes of jogging and static stretching (Experimental Group 1) or dynamic stretching (Experimental Group 2). Before the beginning of the study and right after performing the stretching protocol, the investigators evaluated the unipedal postural stability, the acustic reaction time, the joint position sense of the knee and the countermovement jump of the athletes.
