简要总结
A total of 154 healthy young individuals will be recruited by purposive sampling method to participate in a randomized, single-blinded, sham-controlled study. Recruited participants will be randomly dividing into two groups, the Active high-intensity laser therapy (a-HILT) group, and the Sham high-intensity laser therapy (s-HILT) group. The treatment duration will be 10 minutes per session on both lower limbs for each day for 3 days/week for 2 weeks. Hamstring muscle length will be assessed at baseline, end of the 2-week post-intervention period.

结局指标
主要结局
Sit and toe touch test
时间窗: Changes will be measured at baseline, end of two week post intervention
Sit and toe touch test is used to assess the hamstring flexibility
Active Knee Extension Test
时间窗: Changes will be measured at baseline, end of two week post intervention
Active knee extension test (AKET) is most reliable method to assess the hamstring tightness.
