Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
sing the Lunge test to assess ankle joint of motion, we hope to find na increase at 8 degrees of ankle dorsiflexion in the static stretching group and an 4 degrees increase in the myofascial release group after 8 weeks intervention. Static stretching will promote verter gain in ankle dorsiflexion when compared to myofascial release.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
We hope to find results that confirm the hipothesis that myofascial release doesn't improve ankle range of motion chronically
