Abstract

Introduction: The intense and repetitive training of a sport causes muscle hypertrophy and decreased flexibility. Objective: To analyze the behavior of muscle strength and flexibility of the extensor muscles tronco.Métodos: We used two protocols (therapeutic exercises and Pilates ® in the soil) in 26 soccer players. Muscle strength was assessed with the dynamometer isometric trunk and flexibility with the bank by Wells and fleximeter. There were three assessments: pre-, post-immediate and delayed post. Results: The therapeutic exercise protocol increased flexibility in the pre and immediate post-and pre-and post late in the bank by Wells (p <0.05) and in Fleximeter (p <0.05), no differences were obtained with respect to muscle strength. In the GP, no statistically significant increase flexibility and strength (p> 0.05). Conclusion: It is suggested that more studies be conducted, comparing these two treatment modalities in order to clarify all the possibilities of applying these methods.
