简要总结
Introduction. Basketball is a predominantly anaerobic exercise that exposes to high intensity actions (jumps, speed control, accelerations and decelerations, and changes of direction). A lack of flexibility can affect the appearance of muscle injuries. Foam roller is a myofascial self-release technique using a foam roller. The suction cups are an instrumental technique where the negative pressure produces an increase in the blood flow of the tissues.
Goals. To evaluate the effectiveness of a physiotherapy intervention through suction cups and foam roller in amateur basketball players.
Study design. Randomized, single-blind clinical study with a follow-up period. Methodology. The 20 basketball players that are expected to be recruited will be randomly assigned to the two study groups: experimental (suction cups and Foam roller) and control (Foam roller). The intervention will last 4 weeks, with 2 weekly sessions. The study variable will be: hamstring flexibility (measured with finger-ground, Well and Shober tests). The analysis of normality will be carried out with the Shapiro-Wilk test. In case of homogeneity of the groups, we will use parametric tests: t-student test of repeated measures (difference between evaluations) and ANOVA of repeated means (intra and intersubject effect).
Expected results. An intervention using suction cups and foam roller is effective in improving the flexibility of the hamstring muscles in basketball players.

研究组 & 干预措施
Suction cups
The technique will be performed with the subject sitting on the floor, placing the Foam roller on the back of the thigh, requesting the athlete to perform cranial and caudal movements during the established time.The intervention through the suction cups will consist of its application and produce increased flexibility of the hamstring musculature. The technique will be performed with the subject in prone position, on the stretcher, while the physiotherapist will be placed next to the member to be treated. The suckers are placed in the proximal part where the posterior musculature of the leg originates and in the distal part of the biceps femoris, semitendinosus and semimembranous insertion. This administration of the suckers will be applied during a period of 7 minutes in each member.
干预措施: Suction cups (Other)
Foam roller
The intervention will be carried out before starting the training session. The technique will be performed with the subject sitting on the floor, placing the Foam roller on the back of the thigh, requesting the athlete to perform cranial and caudal movements during the established time. The stretching exercise with the Foam roller will be done during 2 minutes in each member.

结局指标
主要结局
Change from baseline elongation capacity of the hamstring musculature after treatment and at month
时间窗: Screening visit, within the first seven days after treatment and after one month follow-up visit
The assessment of the elongation capacity of the hamstring musculature will be carried out by applying the Wells drawer or test. The subject will sit on the floor in front of the drawer, with the feet together and the plants resting on the front of the drawer, and the knees extended. Next, the athlete must tilt the trunk forward and extend the arms, sliding with outstretched hands until reaching the maximum stretch that allows its trunk flexion. The result that will be recorded corresponds to the point you can touch with your fingers. The unit of measurement for this test is the centimeter (the longer the length, the greater the hamstring elongation capacity).
次要结局
- Change from baseline ischithiobial extensibility after treatment and at month(Screening visit, within the first seven days after treatment and after one month follow-up visit)
- Change from baseline flexibility after treatment and at month(Screening visit, within the first seven days after treatment and after one month follow-up visit)
