comparison between mfr and blr with plyometric training on hamstring

Phase 1/2

Not yet recruiting

Brief Summary: **Purpose**:

Purpose of this study was to examine the effect of hamstring flexibility and its parameter after self MFR and self BLR stretching on pre and post plyometric training session in beginner runners.

**Design:**

An Experimental study

**Objectives:**

To evaluate the effect of self MFR and self BLR stretching with plyometric training, on hamstring stiffness, endurance, strength and agility.

**Method:**

Sixty- four subjects aged between (18-25) were included in this study. Athletes were selected on the basis of inclusion criteria and they were divided randomly in to two groups, the Experimental group received self MFR for 6 weeks, per week three sessions along with plyometric training. And the Control group received self BLR for 6 weeks, per week 3 sessions. The outcome measures were rate of perceived exertion scale, Active knee extension test, agility T test, leg press test.

**Result:**

Paired t test and unpaired t test was used to analyse the data. It was found that there was no significant difference between pre and post hamstring stiffness, endurance, agility and strength in group A and group B. but group A was found more significant than group B.

**Conclusion:**

This study concluded that self Myofascial Release technique with plyometric training is better than self-Bent Leg Raise technique with plyometric training in beginner runners

**Key words:**

MFR, BLR, Plyometric training, Hamstring stiffness, Agility, Strength, Endurance.
