Optimising Hip Mobility, Hamstring Flexibility and Performance Using Lightback
Sponsor: Universidad Católica de Ávila
Summary
In athletics, in the sprint and hurdles disciplines, muscle injuries account for a significant proportion of injuries. The hamstrings are particularly vulnerable, accounting for between 12% and 26% of all injuries in these sports. A single-blind study was conducted on 20 hurdler patients with the intention of assessing hip mobility, hamstring flexibility and performance. To collect this data, the research team will conduct examinations and interviews with the athletes in two groups: an experimental group using LightBack and a placebo group.
