Brief summary
This study investigates the effect of two different techniques, stretching of the diaphragm and cervical level impulse technique C3-C4, in the possible spirometric changes, vital capacity (CV), maximum expiratory flow (PEF) and maximum expiratory volume (FEV). in relation to the secondary variables (age, physical activity, BMI, sex). the subjects of the study were informed and clarified doubts about it and its subsequent reading and signing of informed consent. The subjects were randomly selected to determine which intervention group they would belong to (G1: intervention group of the diaphragm muscle stretch technique, G2: intervention group of the cervical rotation rotation impulse technique C3- C4, G3: Combined technique G1 and G2, G4: control group.The evaluation technique is spirometry.The intervention protocol is as follows, first the pre-intervention spirometry is performed, then the corresponding technique (according to intervention group), then the post-intervention spirometry, the intervention technique and at 5 minutes, the intervention technique is performed.
Detailed description
The objectives of the study are the following: 1. To evaluate the changes in the values of the simple spirometry after the application of the study techniques: muscle stretching technique of the diaphragm (G1), rotation impulse technique of the cervical level of C3- C4 (G2) and combined technique of both (G3); 2. Determine the influence of these on measurable respiratory parameters by simple spirometry; 3. Compare the spirometric values obtained after applying the study techniques (G1, G2, G3) and the control group (G4: simulation of a previous technique); and 4. Analyze the different variables measured (age, gender, weight, height, sports practice and body mass index) in the effects of the applied treatment.
Interventions
PROCEDUREStretching the diaphragm muscle
Place the hands on the last costal cartilages and maintain the ascent of the ribs in the expiration.
PROCEDUREImpulse technique in rotation of cervical level 3 and 4
head to double chin position and then placed with neutral flexo-extension until focusing on the level of manipulation, ipsilateral lateral flexion and contralateral rotation approximately 45 degrees.
PROCEDURECombined technique of diaphragm muscle stretch and cervical rotation impulse technique level 3 and 4
The same initial position, hand placement and technique guidelines will be used, cited in each of the techniques performed in the intervention 1 group and the intervention 2 group.

Masking description
the masking of the evaluator has been obtained, measuring the association between the response variables at baseline and the intervention group, by means of the variance analysis (ANOVA), for each response variable separately. We have verified that there are no differences between the means of the responses at the baseline level in each assigned intervention group, so that masking at the level of the evaluator has been carried out correctly
