About this study
Official title: Analysis on the Effects of Two Types of Warm up in Athletes With a Previous Hamstring Injury
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

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Warm UpOther
Run on a treadmill during 10 minutes without fatigue of the participant after this time.
Hot PackOther
20 minutes of hot-pack on both hamstring
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Warm Up | Active comparator | Not described Receives: Other: Warm Up |
| Hot Pack | Active comparator | Not described Receives: Other: Hot Pack |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Range of movement
degrees
Measured: Changes from baseline at immediately after and at 10 minutes after the intervention

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Range of movement (time frame: Changes from baseline at immediately after and at 10 minutes after the intervention). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
