Brief Summary

In order to investigate the effect of myofascial release technique on sportive performance, balance and injury risk in runners, 49 athletes will include in the study. The myofascial application group (n=26)will receive 12 sessions of 6-weekly lower extremity posterior muscle therapy. The control group (n=23) will continue the routine exercise program.

Study Arms (2)

Myofascial therapy group

EXPERIMENTAL

The myofascial therapy group (n=26) will receive 12 sessions of 6-weekly lower extremity posterior muscle myofascial therapy.

Other: Myofascial therapy

Control group

NO INTERVENTION

The control group (n=23) will not receive lower extremity posterior muscle myofascial therapy. They will continue the routine exercise program.

Interventions

Myofascial therapy OTHER

Running is a sport that involves repetitive movement and is particularly vulnerable to injury in the lower extremities. Myofascial release, on the other hand, is a manual method that is effective in increasing blood and oxygen permeability between tissues, renewing the tissue, protecting it from injury and increasing performance. The aim of our study is to investigate the effect of Myofascial therapy on sportive performance balance and injury risk in runners. The study will carry out on runners with a 3-month running history.
