Brief Summary

To compare the immediate effect of dynamic stretching with and without floss band on the hamstring flexibility in futsal players.

Detailed Description

Futsal is a soccer-like indoor sport that has been gaining popularity worldwide.To increase the flexibility and ROM of involved muscle group a new method has been introduced named Flossing of tissue by using a floss band.

This research study will be helpful to enable therapists to broaden their treatment plans or choose better treatment tools for improving hamstrings flexibility in futsal players. Thus, this study has been designed with the purpose to examine the effect of dynamic stretching with and without floss band on the flexibility of the hamstring.

Study Groups

With Floss Band

Floss band made of natural rubber, black in color and 4" in width will be wrapped around the thigh, starting from the distally to superiorly with an overlap of 50%. Perform exercises:

• Multi-directional leg swing

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Dynamic Stretching with Floss Band

Intervention Type: OTHER

Floss band involves wrapping a band made of natural rubber around the targeted joint or muscle for 1-3 minutes through active movement. The mechanism behind flossing is thought to have a "three-fold effect", compression may stimulate the mechanoreceptors of the underlying fascia layer which causes the hyperemia of the targeted tissue, and leads to increased blood flow.

This intervention was applied in addition to dynamic stretching which involved 3 types of dynamic stretches. These stretches were applied through multidirectional (anteromedial, anterior, and anterolateral) leg swings specifically for the Hamstring muscle. It was performed in 3 sets of 15 repetitions with 30 seconds of rest between each exercise.

Without floss Band

Perform exercises without floss band.

• Multi-directional leg swing

Group Type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Dynamic Stretching without Floss Band

Intervention Type: OTHER

In this group, only dynamic stretching was applied which involved 3 types of dynamic stretches. These stretches were applied through multidirectional (anteromedial, anterior, and anterolateral) leg swings specifically for the Hamstring muscle. It was performed in 3 sets of 15 repetitions with 30 seconds of rest between each exercise.
