Manual Therapies for Posterior Thigh Muscles Enhanced Ten-Repetitions Maximum Test Performance and Hip Flexibility in Young Soccer Players

This study investigated how different manual therapies applied to the posterior thigh muscles affect the ten-repetitions maximum performance test (10 RM) and hip flexion range-of-motion among young soccer players. Seventeen non-professional male soccer players performed the 10RM and range of motion...

Description
Summary:This study investigated how different manual therapies applied to the posterior thigh muscles affect the ten-repetitions maximum performance test (10 RM) and hip flexion range-of-motion among young soccer players. Seventeen non-professional male soccer players performed the 10RM and range of motion pre-testing, and, in separate laboratory visits, they underwent three different experimental activities presented to each participant in a randomized order: (a) rest control activity with no intervention, (b) manual massage, and (c) muscle energy. Comparing pre-testing performances to repeated tests after each intervention condition, participants increased their maximum load lift on the 10-repeitions maximum test following manual massage and muscle energy interventions (p
