Brief Summary

A randomized control trial study was conducted in Islamic International University Islamabad from 1st August 2017 to 31st January 2018 according to the set criteria. A total number of 29 athletes age between 18-35 and playing as part time/ domestic level included in this study. Data were divided into experimental group (n=15) and control group (n=14) by random sampling technique. Post isometric relaxation technique was used in experimental group and static stretching was given in control group. Baseline reading was taken before intervention and post intervention reading taken immediately after application of intervention. Data analyzed through SPSS 20.

Conditions

Healthy

Keywords

Muscle Energy Technique; Post isometric relaxation technique.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Vertical Jump - Force Plates

  Athletes starting position is squat position (Which is the baseline position) on the force-plates and did jump by saying jump, then Jump and sway were noted by physical therapist in seconds

  Day 1

• Muscle Recruitment: through Electromyography

  During vertical jump athletes quadriceps muscle recruitment is noted by noting the amplitude

  Day 1

• 30 Meter sprint

  Athletes start its 30 meter sprint with maximum speed and it is used to check the maximum strength in seconds

  Day 1

• Ground Reaction force (flight time):- through Force plates

  Athletes starting position is squat position on the force-plates and did jump by saying jump and the flight time were noted by physical therapist in newton

  Day 1

Study Arms (2)

Muscle Energy Technique

EXPERIMENTAL

Post isometric relaxation technique was used in experimental group

Other: Muscle Energy Technique

Static Stretch

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Static stretching was given in control group

Other: Static Stretch

Interventions

Muscle Energy Technique OTHER

In experimental group, post-isometric relaxation technique has given to the athletes. The position of athlete was prone and the involved group of muscle was quadriceps. Firstly end range of the quadriceps muscle group assess and guide the athlete to put 20% of their maximum voluntary contraction and physiotherapist resist the athlete and isometric contraction of quadriceps remain for 6-10 seconds

Muscle Energy Technique

Static Stretch OTHER

Control group has treated with static stretching after the pre-assessment that includes three repetitions with duration of fifteen seconds with twenty second rest intervals on lower extremities

Static Stretch
