Overview

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effect of a high-speed, low-amplitude physiotherapy technique at the ankle level, when performed on amateur soccer players.

In this randomized, single-blind, cross-sectional and prospective clinical trial, the effect on ankle mobility and changes in plantar pressure centers obtained after performing a high-velocity, low-amplitude physiotherapy technique in amateur soccers will be assessed. Two intervention groups are used; in one of them this treatment will be applied in a real way, and in the other one a simulation will be carried out.
