| Abstract: | ABSTRACT BACKGROUND : Hamstring muscle plays an important role in functional activities and relaxation. Shortened muscle may hampers the functional activities and goes for muscle tightness and have limited flexibility that leads to reduce in range of motion at joint. The most widely used method for increasing muscle flexibility is stretching. AIM OF THE STUDY : The aim of the study is to determine and compare the effect of Static Stretching and PNF Hold-Relax stretching technique on improving hamstring muscle flexibility on sedentary living female population aged between 18-25 years. MATERIALS AND METHODS : A total of 50 female students were selected with the age group of 18-25 years living sedentary lifestyle with tightened hamstring muscles with knee extension range >20 degree. The students were randomly divided into two groups namely GROUP A Static Stretching (n=25) and GROUP B PNF Hold – Relax stretching (n=25), based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Active Knee Extension Test (AKE) and Straight Leg Raise Test (SLR) were used as outcome measures. RESULT : The mean value of PNF Hold- Relax stretching technique at the post test was found to be higher than the mean value of Static Stretching technique. CONCLUSION : Based on the statistical analysis this study concluded that PNF Hold -Relax stretching technique is more effective than Static Stretching technique on improving flexibility of shortened hamstring muscle among sedentary living female students. |
