Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Static stretching
The static stretch group participants will perform a self-facilitated stretch by looping a strap around the heel of their foot and grasping it with both hands followed by pulling the strap to raise the fully extended leg into hip flexion. The participant will then lift the leg until they reach their maximal tolerable point and then alternate between periods of resting and stretching for a total of 5 minutes.
Static stretching
Participants will perform a static stretch on their lower extremity. This stretch will be performed by having the participant loop a strap around their heel and grasping it with both hands followed by pulling the strap to raise the fully extended leg into hip flexion. The participant will be instructed to lift the leg until they reach their maximal tolerable point and then to hold the position for 30 seconds. They will then lower the extremity to the table and rest for 15 seconds This self-stretch sequence will be performed for 7 cycles so that the total intervention was equal to the intervention time of the other group (5 minutes).7
Hypervolt
The HyperVolt percussive massage group participants will receive a therapist-performed HyperVolt technique to the hamstrings for a period of 5 minutes.
Hypervolt
HyperVolt Percussive Massage Device: this will be performed by a physical therapist while the participant is prone. The physical therapist will apply a vibrating device to the back of the thigh with moderate pressure while continuously moving the device for 5 minutes.
Body tempering
The body tempering group participants will receive a therapist-performed body tempering technique to the hamstrings for a period of 5 minutes.
Body Tempering
Body Tempering:this will be performed by a physical therapist while the participant is prone. The physical therapist will apply a moderately heavy metal device to the back of the thigh while continuously moving the device for 5 minutes.
Dry cupping
The dry cupping group participants will receive a therapist-performed dry cupping technique to the hamstrings for a period of 5 minutes.
Dry cupping
Dry Cupping: This will be performed by a physical therapist while the participant is prone. The physical therapist will apply several negative pressure devices to the back of your thigh for 5 minutes.
