The study investigates the relation between different segments of the posterior myofascial chain of the human body. The intervention consists on apply self-myofascial release with a foam roller in one of the segments of the posterior myofascial chain of the participants, and then see if the treatment has produced any changes in the hamstrings, gastrocnemius and soleus flexibility.
