Brief Summary
|
Hamstrings
injuries are a major concern in football (soccer), affecting both recreational
players and professional athletes. Although being a recognized issue within the
football community, its incidence has been increasing over the last years and
still poses a challenge to all practitioners involved. Hamstrings injuries are
a major concern in football (soccer), affecting both recreational players and
professional athletes. Although being a recognized issue within the football
community, its incidence has been involved. The purpose study is to effectiveness of muscle energy technique and resistance
training for hamstring tightness for football players. Muscle energy technique (MET) is a procedure that involves voluntary contraction
of a patient’s muscle in a precisely controlled direction, at varying levels of
intensity. Restoring normal tone in hypertonic muscles, strengthening weak
muscles, preparing the muscle for subsequent stretching, improved joint
mobility. It includes two techniques postisometric relaxation technique and
reciprocal inhibition. Resistance training has been shown to have many influences on changing body
mass, strength, and power of athletes. However, in the scientific
literature, there are few studies that have retrospectively examined an RT
program completed by football student athletes to determine changes in body
mass, strength, and power. |
