Brief Summary

The study will be a randomized clinical trial. Data was collected from the Pakistan sports board. All 44 Participants were randomly allotted into 2 groups via lottery method, with 22 participants in each group. 10 participants from cricket and volleyball each, 8 from wrestling, athletes, and football each. Participant informed consent was taken priory, and all information was given to them regarding their enrolment in the study. And taken them in confidence that their data was kept confidential and this study does not harm their health. Group A participants received the Myofascial release technique while group B received the dynamic stretching technique. Data were collected pre and post. The session was last for 3 weeks, and each week had 5 sessions. Statistical package for the social sciences will be used to analyze the results by using parametric test after confirming normality of data.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Agility T-Test

  To evaluate the athlete's ability to go forward, reverse, and lateral to lateral is mostly by the recognize agility T-test.

  3 Months

• Flexibility Sit and Reach Test

  The sit-and-reach method also evaluates the lower limbs with flexibility.The patient reached forward along the measurement line, palms faced downwards and hands were on top of each other or side by side.

  3 Months

• Vertical Jump Test

  The Vertical Jump test was used to evaluate an athlete's lower limb strength. A vertical jump test gauge was used.

  3 Months

• Sprint Test

  The sprint of 40-yard was used to evaluate an athlete's speed, acceleration, and agility.

  3 Months

Study Arms (2)

Myofacial Release

EXPERIMENTAL

Illiopsoas , quadriceps, hamstrings, hip adductors, hip abductors ,tensor fasciae lata and gluteus, Foot flexors and extensors received thirty seconds flexibility by foam rolling.Although there appears to be a correlatiomuscle goups between higher SMR length and bigger impact size, the exact link between SMR duration and effect size is uncertain. The time was 30 seconds each muscle group was chosen since it is more realistic than the 60 seconds utilized by MacDonald et al., and it was also used by Peacock et al. Similar to the Grid roller, a commercially available foam roller had net diameter of 12.7 cm and a 5-mm thick empty core of plastic coated with a 12-mm layer of dense foam. In this study, participants were instructed to do the motions in sequenced and save manner, covering the complete muscular area, applying consistent pressure that was felt comfortable. For a total of 16 minutes, the therapy lasted 8 minutes on one leg and 16 minutes on both legs

Other: Myofacial Release

Dynamic Stretching

EXPERIMENTAL

The regimen included ten dynamic workouts lasting 10 minutes and varying in intensity from medium to high. At a distance of 13 meters, each Dynamic stretching exercise was completed. Before each workout, the subjects were given a 10-second rest time. During the exercises, the participants were given verbal comments on their posture, and video recordings of the activities were displayed to them. Dynamic stretching included High knee walk, Straight-leg march, Hand walk, Lunge walks, Backward lunge, High-knee skip, Lateral shuffle, Back pedal, Heel-ups, and High-knee run

Other: Dynamic streching
