简要总结
The aim of this study is:
To compare the acute and long-term affects of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) vs foam rolling on knee and hip flexibility and performance in soccer players.
详细描述
The objective of this study is to compare the acute and long-term affects of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization vs foam rolling on knee and hip flexibility and performance in soccer players. This is a randomized controlled trial, in which participants will be randomly divided into two groups: group-A and group-B. Group-A will receive intervention IASTM while Group-B will receive foam rolling as intervention. Intervention will be carried out for 8 weeks. Assessment of the range of motions for hip and knee joints will be carried out at baseline, immediately after the session, after four weeks and after five (5) months. The secondary measures of performance used in the study are sit and reach test, 100m sprint speed test, Illinois agility run test.
