Effects of Neurodynamic Sliding Technique on Hamstring Flexibility among Recreational Sports Players
Journal Title: Scholars Bulletin - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Abstract:Hamstring tightness continues to be a risk factor for hamstring injuries among active individuals and sports players. Various interventions have been performed to find the most effective method to improve flexibility. The purpose of the study therefore, is to explore the effect of a neurodynamic sliding technique on hamstring flexibility among recreational sports players. Quasi experimental study design, pre and post study type. Male subjects within the age of 18-24 who were unable to complete finger floor test were included. Subjects with hamstring injury within the past years and multiple fractures were excluded. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria subjects were divided into two groups: Group A and Group B. Group A received neurodynamic sliding intervention over a period of 4 weeks and group B received active hamstring stretching exercises over a period of 4 weeks.At the end of the study, significant difference between the group A and B with p value <0.05 was found. Mean values for straight leg raise test (SLR) were significantly higher for the group A when compared to the group B and while the mean values for finger floor test (FFT) were significantly lower for the group A when compared to the group B.This study concludes that the intervention of neurodynamic sliding among the recreational players increases the flexibility of hamstring more than the active hamstring stretching when measured by the straight leg raise test and finger floor test. Keywords: Neurodynamic sliding technique, Hamstring flexibility, Straight leg raise test, Finger floor test.
