Effect of Foam Rolling with Contract Relax Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) Stretching on Hamstring Flexibility in University Athletes: A Randomized Controlled Trial

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of combining foam rolling with Contract-Relax PNF stretching on hamstring flexibility in university athletes, thereby contributing valuable insights to evidence-based sports training and physiotherapy practices.60 participants will be recruited including both male and female. All the participants included in the study will be on the basis of the inclusion and exclusion criteria. All the participants will be provided a written consent form for their voluntary participation. The entire demographic data or characteristics such as name, age, gender, sex, height, weight, occupation will be recorded and testing procedure will be explained to the participant. One group will receive PNF and Foam rolling other will receive self stretching. Outcome variable used will be Dynamic Flexibility, Active straight leg raise test, Vertical jump test, Active Knee active knee extension test (AKET).
