简要总结
This is a Randomized Controlled Trial that aims to check the immediate effect of self myofascial release on the plantarsurface of foot on hamstring flexibility in athletes. Hamstring muscle lengthwill be checked indirectly using the modified active kneeextension test. The subjects will be randomly allocated to either the control group(20) or experimental (20) using computerized random tablemethod. The control group will be asked to follow a warm-up protocol. The experimental group will perform bilateral plantar fasciarelease with a golf ball for 2 minutes per foot in a seatedposition, in addition to the warm-up protocol. Outcome will be assessed pre-intervention as well post-intervention to compare the difference.
