About this trial
This is an interventional prevention trial for Back Injuries focused on measuring myofascial release, back extensors endurance, foam roller, sport
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Basketball players, between 18-25 years who participate on a official league and do regular physical training (4 training sessions 1.5 hours each and a competitive session a week)
- Be able to read and understand the premises of the informed consent of the study.
Exclusion Criteria:
- to present some osteo-articular and / or muscle-tendon pathology that could be exacerbated by the implementation of the Biering-Sorensen test or by the intervention with foam compression.

FOAM ROLLER
PLACEBO
Arm Description
Treatment with foam roller will be applied for 60 seconds to this group. Subjetc lye in supine position over the foam roller placed on back muscle extensors. Then, they must slide the body on the device, from postero-superior iliac spine to the dorsal zone. A brief explanation of this self-application will be showed prior the intervention.
An intervention similar (position and time) to the experimental group will be done, but the used device will be a very soft roller not compressing the contact zone.
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Isometric back extensors endurance
Biering-Sorensen test will be applied, which consists is to keep the trunk straight and parallel to the floor as long as possible, with lower limb fixed to the table up to the antero-superior iliac spine in prone position.

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
This study evaluate the effect of the a low back self-application of myofascial release using a foam rolling on back muscles endurance measured by the Biering-Sorensen test.
Detailed Description
Self-myofascial release performed with a foam roller is an incoming technique what is very popular in sport. Scientific literature currently suggests that the effects of self-myofascial release are mediated by the stimulation over neural and connective tissue. There is evidence that this stimulation could improve the maximum range of motion and decrease muscle soreness. Nonetheless, there is few evidence about the effects of self-myofascial release on muscle endurance.
Given the increased use of autonomously (self-treatment) in the athlete population, this study aims to assess the effect of a low back short application (60 seconds) on the back extensor muscles endurance measured by the Biering-Sorensen test.
With the obtained results we want to elaborate an evideced based recommendation about its use prior to physical activity or sports competition.
