- Abstract
Purpose: To compare the effects of Neurodynamic Sliding Technique with static stretching on hamstring flexibility in healthy young football players with short hamstring syndrome. Methods: 30 male football players within age group 18-25 years with short hamstring syndrome i.e. initial passive straight leg raise (SLR) ≤ 75° participated in the study. Participants were excluded if they exhibited any hamstring injury within the past year or presence of any history of neurological or orthopedic disorder affecting the lower extremities (e.g. Peripheral neuropathy, femur fracture, meniscal injury, low back pain, etc.) the participants were randomly assigned to either Neurodynamic Sliding Technique group or static stretching group. The same researcher provided the intervention to both the groups for three sessions on three different days over a period of one week. Passive SLR was measured pre-intervention, immediately after 1st session and after three sessions. Results: Statistical analysis ( p < 0:05) revealed significant improvement for both the groups but no statistical difference between the two groups. Conclusion: Thus, both the techniques are equally effective to improve hamstring flexibility in football players with short hamstring syndrome.
