Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of variable stretching intervals on neural function and ROM.
DESIGN: Randomized controlled trial Participants: In this trial, 100 participants will participate in the study diagnosed with tight hamstring muscles (defined as the inability to extend the knee to less than 20° of knee flexion) were randomly assigned to the control group or one of the 3 intervention groups Interventions: The three experimental groups will stretched 5 times per week for 4 weeks for 15, 30, and 60 seconds, respectively the control group did not stretch Main Outcome Measures: The neurophysiological outcome measures included peak to peak somatosensory evoked potential for dermatomes L3,L4,L5, and S1. Secondary outcome measures included knee ROM. All outcome measures will be assessed immediately after the treatment session and 24 hours after the treatment session.

15 second stretch
Stretching of the hamstring muscles was performed by the primary researcher for 15 seconds. A straight-leg-raising technique was used for this stretch because we believe that it is commonly used in the clinical setting for elderly people. All subjects were supine lying as flat as possible
stretch hamstring
Stretching of the hamstring muscles was performed by the primary researcher. A straight-leg-raising technique was used for this stretch because we believe that it is commonly used in the clinical setting for elderly people. All subjects were supine lying as flat as possible
30 second stretch
Stretching of the hamstring muscles was performed by the primary researcher for 30 seconds. A straight-leg-raising technique was used for this stretch because we believe that it is commonly used in the clinical setting for elderly people. All subjects were supine lying as flat as possible

60 second stretch
Stretching of the hamstring muscles was performed by the primary researcher for 60 seconds. A straight-leg-raising technique was used for this stretch because we believe that it is commonly used in the clinical setting for elderly people. All subjects were supine lying as flat as possible
stretch hamstring

control
The control group followed the same procedures except that no stretching force was applied at the end
