Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Using the Lunge test to assess ankle joint of motion, we hope to find na increase at 8 degrees of ankle dorsiflexion in the static stretching group and an 4 degrees increase in the myofascial release group after 8 weeks intervention. Static stretching will promote verter gain in ankle dorsiflexion when compared to myofascial release. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| We hope to find results that confirm the hipothesis that myofascial release doesn't improve ankle range of motion chronically | — |
