Effect of lumbar spine manipulation on asymptomatic cyclist sprint performance and hip flexibility

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Exercise performance

• Registration Number: JPRN-UMIN000014899
• Lead Sponsor: CMIC

Brief Summary

Results: Lumbar spine manipulation did not demonstrate statistically significant between group changes in sit-and-reach (p=0.765), 0.5 km sprint performance time (p=0.877), maximum exercise heart rate (p-0.944), or RPE (p=0.875). Conclusions: Preliminarily, lumbar spinal manipulation was not shown to impact cycle ergometer sprint performance or hip flexibility of asymptomatic cyclists.
