Abstract

Adhesions in certain muscle areas generate tension in other muscles of the same muscle chain. The aim of the study is to test the immediate effect of the “Self-myofascial release” (SMR) with the golf ball technique on the plantar fascia in federated sportsmen of "Football 11" (FU) and "Futsal" (FS) and its influence on hamstring musculature. Besides, the differences between each modality have been analysed. The design is of the longitudinal experimental type, with a sample of 20 federated sportsmen. The results show significant improvement in the length reached in the “Sit and Reach Test” (SRT) after the SMR between "Control Group" (GC) and "Experimental Group"(GE). There are no significant differences between modalities. It is therefore concluded that there is an immediate effect of SMR with the golf ball technique on the plantar fascia over the hamstring muscle. There are no significant differences between modalities.
