Brief Summary

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

The study aims to observe the influence of manual therapy on physical and sporting performance. Manual therapy and physiotherapy have always been associated with post-exercise or as a means of recovering from injuries. The objective is to see if a physiotherapy intervention based on manual therapy causes changes in physical and sporting performance.

To do this, after a brief warm-up, a series of sports tests will be carried out, where the investigators will measure variables such as strength, range of motion, and autonomic nervous system parameters. Subsequently, a series of techniques will be applied in various anatomical regions, and finally, the sports tests will be repeated, and the results will be compared.

Manual Therapy Protocol

Protocol for manual intervention using manual techniques on musculoskeletal structures

Group Type OTHER

Manual Therapy Protocol

Intervention Type OTHER

The techniques were divided into three main groups: first, those carried out in cervical, thoracic and upper limbs; second, lumbar, pelvic and lower limbs; and finally, only spine. The techniques are carried out by physiotherapists with more than 15 years of healthcare experience and trained in manual therapy with more than 10 years of experience in this field.

Sham Manual Protocol

Manual sham intervention protocol through the application of manual contacts on musculoskeletal structures similar to the experimental group but without similar intention or pressure

Group Type OTHER

Sham Protocol

Intervention Type OTHER

The placebo protocol places the hands on the same areas as the experimental one and for the same application time but without making a manipulative intervention.

Control

No manual intervention

Group Type OTHER

Control-no treatment

Intervention Type OTHER

Control group without treatment or manual contact
