Brief Summary

The project consists of studying the differences between neural gliding techniques of the sciatic nerve and passive stretching of the hamstring muscles in football players.

Detailed Description

Study of hamstring shortening in football players through passive muscle stretching and the use of the neurodynamic technique of longitudinal sliding of the sciatic nerve.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Passive hamstring stretch.	Stretching of the hamstring muscles.	Manual stretching of the hamstring muscles using the technique proposed by Henri Neiger.
Passive upper limb mobilisations.	Passive upper limb mobilisations.	Control group. Passive mobilisation of the upper limbs.
Longitudinal slippage of the sciatic nerve.	Neural slippage of the sciatic nerve.	Neurodynamic technique described by David Butler and Michael Shacklock.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Differences between passive stretching of the hamstring muscles and longitudinal sliding of the sciatic nerve.	One month.	The degree of elasticity of the hamstring musculature will be measured using the Goniometer by placing the hip in 90 degrees flexion and measuring the extension in degrees of the knee.; A pre-test and post-test measurement will be taken.
