About this study

Soccer players from three teams in the region of Murcia (Spain) were recruited and randomly divided into three groups: control group, experimental group 1 and experimental group 2.

In the control group passive shoulder mobilization will be applied, in experimental group 1 sciatic nerve gliding will be applied and in experimental group 2 passive hamstring stretching will be applied.

Treatments will be performed once a week for 4 weeks and measurements will be taken at week 1 and 4.
