Effects of Warm up in Athletes With Previous Hamstring Injury

September 27, 2020 updated by: Javier Gutiérrez Coronado, University of Extremadura

Analysis on the Effects of Two Types of Warm up in Athletes With a Previous Hamstring Injury

The objectives of this study is to determine the immediate and 10 minutes follow-up effects of a warm-up based on a continous run on a treadmill or the application of a hot-pack in athletes with previous hamstring injury. The investigators have as an hypothesis that the subjects, after one of this interventions show statistically significant improvements in the measurements of pain, flexibility, proprioception and postural control
