Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

12 healthy men aged 18-30 will be included in the study. Participants will be selected from students who regularly train and do active sports at the Faculty of Sports Sciences. All participants will do nordic hamstring exercise. Participants will rest for 20 minutes after the Nordic hamstring exercise protocol in the first week. In the second week, manual lymph drainage covering the lower extremities will be applied for 20 minutes after exercise. In the third week, a Swedish massage covering the lower extremities will be applied after exercise. The exercise protocol is planned as 5 sets of 8 repetitions and 2 minutes of rest between each set. The evaluations of the participants will be repeated 3 times: just before the test, after the test and after the application.

Healthy Young Men

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Nordic Hamstring Exercise

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The NHE, also referred to as the nordic curl, is designed to improve eccentric strength of the hamstring muscles. Individuals start in a kneeling position, with the torso from the knees upward held rigid and straight. The training partner ensures that the individual's feet are in contact with the ground throughout the exercise by applying pressure to the player's heels/lower legs. The individual then lowers his upper body to the ground, as slowly as possible to maximize loading in the eccentric phase. Hands and arms are used to break his forward fall and to push him back up after the chest has touched the ground, to minimize loading in the concentric phase.The exercise protocol is planned as 5 sets of 8 repetitions and 2 minutes of rest between each set.
