Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of a foam roller warm-up on sports performance in professional basketball players.

Conditions

Athletics Injury; Sports Physical Therapy

Keywords

Foam Roller; Performance; Warm-Up; Basketball

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Know the effectiveness of a warm-up with a foam roller in proffesional basketball player during 18 weeks on jumping using the Counter Movement Jump, dorsiflexión using the Lung Test and the balance using the Y-Balance Test

  The countermovement jump will obtain the jump height in centimetres, the ankle dorsiflexion in degrees using the Lung test and the distance in centimeters using the Y-Balance test. High scores in any of the tests will lead to a decrease in the risk of injury and an improvement in performance. A first pre-intervention measurement is carried out, another at 14 weeks post-intervention and others at 18 weeks follow-up. This is the general measure.

  Baseline and week 18

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Evaluate the improvement obtained in the experimental group after a warm-up protocol with foam roller for 14weeks 3 days per week on the Counter Movement Jump, Lung Test and Y-Balance test vs non-intervention group.

  Baseline and week 14

• Maintenance of foam roller warm-up adaptations on the Counter Movement Jump, Lung Test and Y-Balance Test after intervention for a 1 month

  Week 14 and week 18
