Abstract :

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&#10;&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;">Aims: a study to compare the effectiveness of mulligan bent leg raise and two leg rotation techniques on hamstring flexibility in amateur football players<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&#10;&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;">Methods: A study has performed in amateur football players who are prediagnosed with hamstring tightness. Subjects were divided into two groups group a for BLR technique and group b TLR technique. Active knee extension test was taken before and after treatment. Outcome score were compared and used to establish an effectiveness of treatment.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-top:3.85pt;margin-right:.2pt;&#10;margin-bottom:0in;margin-left:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;mso-add-space:auto;&#10;tab-stops:-.5in"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:115%;&#10;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;">Findings:</span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;&#10;mso-fareast-font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;;mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast;&#10;color:black;mso-themecolor:text1;mso-font-kerning:12.0pt;mso-bidi-font-weight:&#10;bold"> Within group A and group B while observing effectiveness of treatment of TLR and BLR mean value of goniometer Pretreatmentwas</span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;">(rt) 84&plusmn;8.7 and (lt) 81.8&plusmn;8.4<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>in group A and (rt) 81&plusmn;6.6 and (lt) 79.4&plusmn;8.0<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>was in group B with p&lt;0.0001</span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size:14.0pt;&#10;line-height:115%;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;mso-fareast-font-family:&#10;&quot;Times New Roman&quot;;mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast;color:black;mso-themecolor:&#10;text1;mso-font-kerning:12.0pt;mso-bidi-font-weight:bold"> While post treatment mean value of goniometer is </span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size:14.0pt;&#10;line-height:115%;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;">92&plusmn;4.4<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>rt and 93.2&plusmn;10.4 lt treatment with t=0.7286rt<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>and t= 2.292lt with p&lt;0.0001 in group A</span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size:14.0pt;&#10;line-height:115%;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;mso-fareast-font-family:&#10;&quot;Times New Roman&quot;;mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast;color:black;mso-themecolor:&#10;text1;mso-font-kerning:12.0pt;mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">(p&gt;0.001, t=)<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&#10;&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;color:black;mso-themecolor:text1;mso-font-kerning:&#10;12.0pt;mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">Conclusion:</span><span style="font-size:&#10;14.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;">The present study proves that both TLR and BLR techniques are effective in increasing hamstring flexibility .The study has shown a significant difference in TLR and BLR techniques. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&#10;&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;">Hence based on the result of the present study it can be concluded that TLR technique is more effective to improve hamstring flexibility than BLR technique in amateur football players of age group 17 to 35 with hamstring tightness.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
