Brief Summary

The major aim of this project to compare the effects of Resistance band training and Nordic hamstring exercise on hamstring strength among football players.

Conditions

Intervention; Injury Prevention

Keywords

Nordic Hamstring exercise; Modified sphygmomanometer; Manual muscle Testing; Resistance band

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Modified sphygmomanometer Test

  Modified sphygmomanometer is a non-invasive test and method which may provide reliable, rapid and valid measurement of assessing hamstring strength in field-based sports.

  4 weeks

• Manual Muscle Test (MMT)

  Manual muscle test (MMT) is a procedure for the evaluation of strength of individual muscle or muscles group, based upon the effective performance of a movement in relation to the forces of gravity or Manual Resistance through the available Range of motion (ROM). Manual Muscle Testing Grading System from 0=No visible or palpable contraction to 5= full range of movement against gravity, maximal resistance.

  4 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• 40-yard dash Test

  4 weeks

• Muscle soreness rating following exercise

  4 weeks

Study Arms (2)

Group A: Nordic Hamstring Exercise

EXPERIMENTAL

This group includes 15 male participants who will be given 10 minutes of warm and cool down sessions that includes stretching. Number of sets and repetitions progressively increase i-e: Week 1 - 2 sessions with 2 sets of 5 repetitions each. Week 2 - 2 sessions with 3 set of 5 repetitions each. Week 3 - 2 sessions with 4 set of 6 repetitions each. Week 4 - 2 sessions with 4 set of 8 repetitions each.

Other: Nordic Hamstring Exercise

Group B: Hamstring Curl with Resistance Band

EXPERIMENTAL

This group includes 15 male participants who will be given 10 minutes of warm and cool down sessions that includes stretching. Number of sets progressively increase i-e: Week 1 - 2 sessions with 2 sets of 15 repetitions each. Week 2 - 2 sessions with 3 set of 15 repetitions each. Week 3 - 2 sessions with 4 set of 15 repetitions each. Week 4 - 2 sessions with 4 set of 15 repetitions each.

Other: Hamstring Curl with Resistance band

Interventions

Nordic Hamstring Exercise OTHER

To perform Nordic Hamstring Exercise, the subject was in kneeling position on the mat, arms by the side or in front of the chest, knee in 90-degree flexion and ankles well stabilized with the help of a therapist which is positioned behind the subject. Then subject was asked to lean forward by using the hamstring muscles by extending while trying to resist the forward fall, he should lean forward from the knee and not from the hip. The only time one can put his hands in front of him is when he can't rely on his legs and then push himself back to starting position and them repeat the procedure again.

Group A: Nordic Hamstring Exercise

Hamstring Curl with Resistance band OTHER

Traditional Hamstring Curl by using Resistance band. Resistance Band: Thera-band Green, 4.6 kg resistance at 100% elongation

Group B: Hamstring Curl with Resistance Band
