Summary

Orthopedic Manual Therapy (OMT) is one of the branches of physiotherapy that has less evidence about its action and efficacy, but those who have had the opportunity to apply or receive it know its great benefits. Currently, worldwide, the approach given to physiotherapy goes hand in hand with the guidelines of the TMO, but in Colombia it is not seen in the same way. The objective of this TFM is to compare the effects of Finding-Oriented Orthopedic Manual Therapy combined with Foam Roller versus the effects of Foam Roller alone, specifically in terms of muscle power and lower limb flexibility in Colombian athletes. For this, a randomized controlled clinical trial will be carried out with two groups that will undergo different interventions. To measure the variables, the CMJ jump protocol will be used with the Optogait and the Wells or sit and reach test.

Interventions

OTHER

Finding-oriented orthopedic manual therapy treatment combined with foam roller

Blind randomized controlled clinical trial, where a total of 87 people, men and women, of legal age, university athletes of collective disciplines will be evaluated. The experimental group will receive foam roller therapy and manual therapy guided by findings (n = 44) for 8 weeks.

OTHER

Foam roller treatment

Subjects will perform slides on the instrument using their body weight on the following muscles: quadriceps, hamstrings, gastrocnemius, and tensor fascia lata, for 60 seconds with 3 repetitions for each. Each repetition will have a rest period of 30 seconds, this will be done on both lower limbs.
