Abstract

Hamstring muscle strain is not only result in numerous visits to emergency care facilities and significant time loss from sports participation but they can also cause long term disability. Among 2.18 million players 15% (1million) of athletes sustain in hamstring injury due to the sudden twisting and cutting movements involved in sport. There are lot of conventional training methods are followed in all sports clubs and clinical settings according to the coach and the trainer way of training, but the complete proper training is not followed. Without adequate care of proper training or strengthening can lead to reduced in sprinting performance and also leads to hamstring injury. OBJECTIVES: 1. To find out whether the effectiveness of General Warm-up training will improve a performance in semi-professional football player. 2. To find out whether the effectiveness of Nordic hamstring eccentric training will improve a performance in semi-professional football player. METHODOLOGY: Study Design: The study design is Experimental study. Study Sampling: Convenient sampling technique. Sampling Size: 20 subjects were assigned into two group.10 subjects in the control group and 10 subjects in experimental group. Study Setting: This study was conducted at Sri Ramakrishna College Ground. Study Duration: The study was carried out by a period of 12 months. Treatment Duration: The training was given for 3 sessions in a week for period of 5 weeks. SELECTION CRITERIA: Inclusion criteria: ▪ Age between 18 to 30 year. ▪ Gender-Male. ▪ Semi -professional football players. Exclusion criteria: ▪ Lower extremity injuries. ▪ Back pain. ▪ Recent Surgeries. ▪ Current hamstring injuries. ▪ Upper extremity injuries. RESULTS: The Result was concluded that, there is improvement in between the both groups the sprinting speed performance and muscular strength among both the groups but Experimental group is highly significantly improved by comparing with control group. within the group comparison of pre and post test data of triple hop distance test among the Experimental group has showed a highly significantly difference by using paired “t” test for the right leg mean difference 0.529 with level of significance < 0.05% at 9 degree of freedom. Left leg mean difference 0.404 with level of significances < 0.05% at 9 degree of freedom. In Experimental group. Repeated sprint ability test showed a highly significantly difference in paired “t” test mean difference 0.651 with level of significances < 0.05% at 9 degree of freedom. CONCLUSION: The results of the study showed that Nordic Hamstring Exercise demonstrated a significant improvement in sprinting speed, muscular strength, as measured by triple ho distance test, repeated sprint ability test 30-m respectively after 5 weeks of training. Thus it can be concluded that, Nordic Hamstring Exercise is effective in improving sprinting speed, muscular strength, and semi-professional football players. Since, improvement in physical fitness parameters like sprinting speed, muscular strength can prevent easy fatigue of the muscles thereby enhancing the efficiency of activities of daily living, it can be concluded that Nordic Hamstring exercise is an effective training program that can be incorporated in routine exercise program. Nordic Hamstring Exercise is easy to perform, is not a big time consumer, and can be done without the use of any additional equipment.
