Aplicación de la técnica liberación miofascial delpsoas iliaco en deportistas de sexo masculino con alteraciones posturales y funcionales de la pelvis que asisten al crossfit GOLGOTA en la ciudad de Guayaquil octubre 2017 – febrero 2018.

Abstract

The aim of this research work is to demonstrate thebenefits of the application of the myofascial release technique of the iliopsoas muscle in postural alterations and pelvic dynamics in crossfit athletes between 18 and 30 years of age from the GOLGOTA training center. A prospective, experimental (pre-experimental) study with a quantitative approach, longitudinal cut and explanatory scope was carried out. For this, the clinical history and Thomas Test were applied to see if there was a shortening of the iliopsoas muscle. The population studied was 30 crossfit athletes. The sample was of 20 athletes that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: All crossfit athletes presented alterations in the pelvis, whether dynamic or static. 60% of the athletes showed static alterations with an inclination towards the left side. On the other hand 70% of the athletes presented shortening of the iliopsoas muscle in the same way on the left side. After the application of the technique, it can be concluded that only 30% of the evaluated ones showed static alterations, which is to say that there is a decrease of the static alterations.On the other hand, all athletes had a lower retraction of the psoas iliac muscle, improving the dynamic posture. Finally, this technique serves as a methodof correction for dynamic changes of the pelvis, in terms of static posture, but the correction of the static posture will depend on an intervention with greaterduration and integrating other techniques.
