Abstract
Introduction: Hamstring strain injuries are common in sporting area, and frequently occur in activities which involve running, sprinting, jumping or kicking. Limited flexibility has been shown to predispose a person to several musculoskeletal overuse injuries and significantly affect a person's level of function. The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of 6 weeks of static stretch training, muscular energy technology, and kinesio tape on hamstring flexibility in soccer players.
Methodology: 30 footballers (mean age of 17.48 ± 4.7 years, height 168.5 ± 7.1 cm, weight 70.66 ± 6.8 kg, BMI 23.17 ± 1.92 kg/m2) volunteered to participate in the study, and the subjects were randomly divided into three groups . Individuals in each group under the influence of static stretching exercises, using muscle energy techniques and applying kinesio tape were trained in each group for 6 weeks. Shortness of hamstring muscles was measured before and after corrective exercises.
Results: The results showed that 6 weeks of static stretching exercises, using muscular energy technique and kinesio tape had a significant effect on hamstring muscle shortness (p ≤ 0.05). Although there was no significant difference between groups (p > 0.05).
Discussion: Therefore, it can be concluded that 6 weeks of static traction training, the use of muscular energy technology and the use of kinesio tape had a positive and equal effect on the short duration of hamstring muscles and the knee range of soccer players. It can be used as a remedial and corrective treatment based on injury conditions.
