Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determinate de efectiveness of eccentric exercise combined with vibration or cryotherapy in achilles tendinopathy and its effects on the anterior rectus abdominis muscle.

The investigators hypothesis is the combined eccentric exercise with vibration get better results than cryotherapy with eccentric exercise in rectus abdominis muscle parameters.

Cryotherapy and eccentric exercise

12 weeks, 5 days/week, once a day, 2 exercise, 3 sets/execise, 15 repetition/set of eccentric exercise of foot plantar flexors First exercise with knee in extension, second exercise with knee in flexion. Previously subjects should cold their leg in ice water during sexteen minutes at a temperature of 8ºC (+/-2ºC)
