Brief summary

The objectives of this study is to determine the immediate and 10 minutes follow-up effects of a warm-up based on a continous run on a treadmill or the application of a hot-pack in athletes with previous hamstring injury. The investigators have as an hypothesis that the subjects, after one of this interventions show statistically significant improvements in the measurements of pain, flexibility, proprioception and postural control

Interventions

OTHERWarm Up

Run on a treadmill during 10 minutes without fatigue of the participant after this time.

OTHERHot Pack

20 minutes of hot-pack on both hamstring
