Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Hamstring Muscle Length
The athlete was positioned supine with the hip joint at 90 degrees of flexion and was asked to perform active knee extension. The waist and the knee that was not being measured were fixed to the bed. The athlete was asked to slowly extend the knee, and the measurement was recorded with a goniometer at a level where there was no tremor in the knee.
at baseline
Lunge Distance
Lunge distance was evaluated by measuring the distance between the position of the front foot on the ground in the anguard position and the new position of the front foot on the ground after the lunge, using a tape measure.
