Abstract:
ABSTRACT- Aim Of The Study: To compare the effects of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation technique among college male students with hamstring tightness. Background of the study: Flexibility is defined as the ability of the muscles to lengthen allowing one joint or more than one joint in a series to move through a range of motion(1). Flexibility allows tissue to accommodate more easily to stress thus minimizing or preventing muscle injury(1). But this study sought to identify the study to compare the effectiveness of contract relax technique and hold relax technique over the hamstring flexibility. Materials And Methods: 30 male adults with Hamstring tightness aged 20 to 30 years selected from general population through simple randomized technique. Samples are divided into two groups, no.=15 (Group CR) Contract relax with Static stretch and no.=15 (Group HR) Hold relax with Static stretch. Outcome Measures: Active knee extension (AKE) test and V-sit and reach test. Results: Subjects in contract relax group showed significantly greater hamstring flexibility compared with the hold relax group. (p<0.01). Conclusion: Both contract relax and hold relax technique can cause significant result in hamstring flexibility, further comparison shows significant difference between two groups and concludes that contract relax is better than hold relax technique for hamstring flexibility.
