Brief Summary

To compare the immediate effect of dynamic stretching with and without floss band on the hamstring flexibility in futsal players.

Detailed Description

Futsal is a soccer-like indoor sport that has been gaining popularity worldwide.To increase the flexibility and ROM of involved muscle group a new method has been introduced named Flossing of tissue by using a floss band.

This research study will be helpful to enable therapists to broaden their treatment plans or choose better treatment tools for improving hamstrings flexibility in futsal players. Thus, this study has been designed with the purpose to examine the effect of dynamic stretching with and without floss band on the flexibility of the hamstring.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
With Floss Band	Dynamic Stretching with Floss Band	Floss band made of natural rubber, black in color and 4" in width will be wrapped around the thigh, starting from the distally to superiorly with an overlap of 50%. Perform exercises: • Multi-directional leg swing
Without floss Band	Dynamic Stretching without Floss Band	Perform exercises without floss band. • Multi-directional leg swing

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Sit and Reach Test	Baseline and immediately after the intervention	A ruler was used to measure Sit and Reach Test Score.
Straight Leg Raise (SLR) Test	Baseline and immediately after the intervention	Universal goniometer was used to measure SLR angle.
Active Knee Extension (AKE) Test	Baseline and immediately after the intervention	Universal goniometer was used to measure AKE angle.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Serum Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) levels	Baseline and after 24 hours of the intervention	Lactate Dehydrogenase is an enzyme found in body and it converts sugar into energy. When a tissue is damaged, the level of this enzyme in blood increases. This test is valid (r=0.98) to check the muscle damage
Serum Creatine Kinase (CK) Levels	Baseline and after 24 hours of the intervention	Creatine-kinase is a type of enzyme that muscle cell need to function, small amount of CK is present in our blood but high level indicates muscle injury. CK-MM is the substance rises when skeletal muscle is injured. This test is valid(r=0.58) and reliable (r=0.87) to check the muscle damage.
