简要总结
Introduction. A deficit of dorsiflexion and motor control can limit the performance of a squat. Neuromuscular reeducation exercises, mobility and elasticity are used in the neuromuscular control and mobility of the kinetic chain. The Flossing technique is applied to improve ankle mobility and the perception of effort.
Objective. To compare the efficacy of a protocol for neuromuscular reeducation exercises, mobility and elasticity, and the Flossing technique in ankle mobility and perception of effort when performing squats.
Study design. Randomized, multicenter, single-blind clinical study with a follow-up period.
Methodology. 40 weightlifters included in the study will be assigned randomly to the study groups: experimental (protocol of reeducation exercises plus the application of the Flossing technique) and control (protocol of reeducation exercises). The intervention will last 4 weeks, with two weekly sessions of 15 minutes each. The variables of the study will be the range of movement of ankle dorsiflexion (Weight Bearing Lunge Test) and the perception of the effort during the squat (Borg scale). A descriptive statistical analysis will be carried out calculating the main statistical characteristics. The distribution of the sample will be analyzed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnof test. In case of homogeneity, parametric tests will be used to calculate changes after each evaluation (t-student) and the intra- and intersubject effect (repeated measures ANOVA).
Expected results. Improvement in dorsiflexion of the ankle and decrease in the perception of effort during the squat.

结局指标
主要结局
Change from baseline dorsal ankle flexion after treatment and at a month
时间窗: Screening visit, within the first seven days after treatment and after one month follow-up visit
The dorsal ankle flexion will be measured with the Weight-bearing lunge test. The subject will stand in front of a wall, using a tape measure that goes from the wall to the first toe. The subject will perform the greatest dorsiflexion of the ankle that allows him to touch the wall without lifting the ankle. The greater distance that this objective achieves will be the reference value. The unit of measurement of this test is the centimeter, indicating a higher score a greater range of ankle movement in dorsiflexion.
次要结局
- Change from baseline level of effort perceived after treatment and at a month(Screening visit, within the first seven days after treatment and after one month follow-up visit)
