Name	Time	Method
Endothelial function	It was evaluated for the control and experimental extremities 15 minutes after exercise. ( Outcomes were evaluated as acute.)	Endothelial function was evaluated with flow-mediated dilation.
Surface EMG	During exercise	It was evaluated for the biceps femoris and semitendinosus muscles of the control and experimental extremities during Nordic hamstring exercise.
