Abstract
BACKGROUND: Tightness in hamstring muscles leads to hamstring injuries and hamstring injuries are the most common type of injury among athletes. These injuries are slow to recover, make high health expenditure and decrease the performance level of the athlete. Flexibility can be achieved by a variety of stretching techniques, yet little research has been performed on the most effective method. MET has shown beneficial effects on improving the flexibility of muscles. Thus far, no study has directly investigated the relative effects of Post Isometric Relaxation and Reciprocal Inhibition .This study compared the effects of Post Isometric Relaxation and Reciprocal Inhibition in improving the range of motion of male adult basketball players with hamstring tightness. METHODLOGY: A sample of 60 basketball players suffering from hamstring tightness where identified after proper assessments and were divided into 3 group with 20 members each. Group-A members received Post Isometric Relaxation, Treadmill running and Hamstring curls exercise. Group-B members received Reciprocal Inhibition, Treadmill running and Hamstring curls exercise. Group-C members received only Treadmill running and Hamstring curls exercise. They were treated twice daily for three weeks. Range of Motion was measured with Goniometry before and after the treatment. RESULT: The paired t-test revealed that the knee range of motion of both experimental groups improved significantly after the therapy. CONCLUSION: Post Isometric Relaxation is one of the renounce techniques in increasing the range of motion in basketball players with hamstring tightness and its effect is much better when compared with Reciprocal Inhibition.
