Introduction: Running is one of the most frequently chosen forms of physical
activity. The participants taking the specially constructed routes deal with not
only the distance, but also many obstacles ranging from natural difficulties
in the form of terrain and swamps, to artificially created balancing pits, ditches, fences, etc. [3]. The Obstacle Course Racing runs, in nature demanding in
terms of physical condition for the athlete, must be preceded by proper preparation. Its lack in all running disciplines entail the risk of injuries, most common
of which are plantar aponeurosis overstrain and injuries of other structures of
posterior fascia chain.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of the plantar aponeurosis mobilisation on the tension of the entire superficial back line
in people actively preparing for starts in obstacle runs.
Material and methods: A group of 40 people including 17 women and 23 men
took part in the study. All study participants were in the 20-30 age range and
trained regularly at least twice a week for at least six months preparing for the
OCR competition. All study participants underwent three sessions of 10-minute plantar aponeurosis mobilisation, based mainly on deep tissue massage
techniques and using fascia tools (Fazer). To assess the effect of the procedure,
the subjects were tested both before and immediately after the mobilisation
was completed, and the Thomayer test was chosen as the measurement method. All analyses were performed in the Statistica v.12 package. A significance level of 0.05 was used for all analyses.
Results: Analysis of the results in Table 3 gave grounds to establish significant differences between the mean results before and after p<0.01 for each
of the three mobilisations. Significant differences were also found among the
results before the first mobilisation and the results after the second mobilisation (p=0.001) and the third mobilisation (p=0.0001), and between the results before the first mobilisation and before the third mobilisation (p=0.011).

Analysis of the results gave grounds to conclude that the average effect of the
procedure during the first mobilisation was statistically significantly stronger
than in the case of the second and third mobilisation. There were no significant
differences between the average effect of the second and third mobilisation
p>0.05.
Conclusions: Mobilisation of plantar aponeurosis has an impact on the tension of the posterior anatomical chain in people training for obstacle runs. The
average effect of the procedure during the first mobilisation is statistically significantly stronger than in the case of the second and the third mobilisation.
The improvement in the range of motion of the spine flexion resulting from
subsequent mobilisations tends to persist
