| Check the continuity of the nervous system through the knee extension goniometer ( Leg raise test Extended 90-90 ) ; Observe the application of these techniques and highlight its importance in hamstring flexibility through tests : Sit - Reach with Bank of Wells, compare the efficacy of neural mobilization and automobilization flexibility of the hamstrings. The sample size was determined by statistical calculations , showing that the minimum representative quantity of subjects who carried out activities at the community center.;Increased member of range of motion in the lower right and left neural mobilization group ( GMN ) in intragroup and intergroup evaluation with automobilization group Neural (GAM ) , verified by the goniometer method of the lower limbs and sit Test achieve with Bank of Wells . There was a statistically significant increase in range of motion in the goniometer , the post evaluation ( 57.95 ° to 67.27 ° , p = 0.0001 ) and test the Bank of Wells ( 27.67 to 28.84 , p = 0.028 ) . Also showed statistically significant results when compared with the Aautomobilização Group , with a 20% improvement in range of right knee extension ( p = 0.0078 ) and 10% in the left knee extension ROM ( p = 0.0464 ) . | — |
