Brief Summary

This study evaluate the effect of the a low back self-application of myofascial release using a foam rolling on back muscles endurance measured by the Biering-Sorensen test.

Conditions

Back Injuries

Keywords

myofascial release; back extensors endurance; foam roller; sport

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Isometric back extensors endurance

  Biering-Sorensen test will be applied, which consists is to keep the trunk straight and parallel to the floor as long as possible, with lower limb fixed to the table up to the antero-superior iliac spine in prone position.

  1 day

Study Arms (2)

FOAM ROLLER

EXPERIMENTAL

Treatment with foam roller will be applied for 60 seconds to this group. Subjetc lye in supine position over the foam roller placed on back muscle extensors. Then, they must slide the body on the device, from postero-superior iliac spine to the dorsal zone. A brief explanation of this self-application will be showed prior the intervention.

Device: Foam roller

PLACEBO

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

An intervention similar (position and time) to the experimental group will be done, but the used device will be a very soft roller not compressing the contact zone.

Interventions

Foam roller DEVICE

A bout of 60 seconds of myofascial release with foam roller

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 25 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

• Basketball players, between 18-25 years who participate on a official league and do regular physical training (4 training sessions 1.5 hours each and a competitive session a week)
• Be able to read and understand the premises of the informed consent of the study.

You may not qualify if:

• to present some osteo-articular and / or muscle-tendon pathology that could be exacerbated by the implementation of the Biering-Sorensen test or by the intervention with foam compression.
