Effect of Nervous System Mobilization on Athletes' Performance

Effect of Nervous System Mobilization on Athletes' Performance

This study aims to compare the effects of two diferente doses of nervous system mobilization on athletes performance.

It is anticipated that 60 athletes will be randomly allocated to receive either 4x10 (n=30) or 8x10 (n=30) repetitions of neural mobilization .

Data on flexibility (knee extension test) and lower limb strength and motor control (hop tests and vertical jump test) will be collected at baseline and after the neural mobilization.

Statistical analysis will be performed using a mixed-methods ANOVA.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Healthy athletes

Exclusion Criteria:

• Nerve damage
• Arthritis
• Tumors
• Vascular conditions
• Spinal cord injuries
• Any sistemic condition
• Surgery in the past 6 months
• Injury in the last 3 months
