Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Age: 18 â?? 30 years. 2. Athletes (cricketers, football players, athletics etc) 3. Unilateral hamstring tightness measured by Straight leg raise test : 80 degree or less

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. If not willing to participate. 2. Hamstring injury within the past year. 3. Low back pain in the last 6 months. 4. Recent major trauma or fracture of the lumbar spine or lower limb in the last 6 months. 5. Leg length discrepancy. 6. If there are signs of serious pathology such as malignancy, infection, inflammatory disorder, disc prolapse, stenosis, spondylolisthesis, spinal or lower limb deformity.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
It is expected that Muscle Energy Technique and Neurodynamic sliding will have beneficiary effects on hamstring flexibility and balance among athletes. Hamstrings flexibility will be assessed by performing passive straight leg raise and active knee extension test. Static and dynamic balance will be assessed by stork stand test and modified star excursion balance test respectively.Timepoint: At baseline and immediately post intervention.	—
