Abstract:

Background: Muslim prayer (salaat/namaz) is a moderate exercise, the body's muscle contraction is both isotonic and isometric during its performance. Two main flexion postures of salaat Rukku and Sujood have a positive effect on the flexibility of the lower back and hamstring muscles. Objective: To explore the effects of Rukku posture on the flexibility of hamstring muscles in female students and to promote the physical benefits of Muslim prayers on the normal population. Methods: This cross-sectional study comprised 400 students, 200 of them were regular prayer offerers and 200 were irregular

Abstract:

Background: Hamstring tightness is a common issue among football players, particularly nonprofessionals, due to inadequate training, poor flexibility, and muscle imbalances. Tight hamstrings can lead to a higher risk of injuries, affecting performance and long-term musculoskeletal health. Identifying the prevalence of hamstring tightness and its associated risk factors can help implement targeted prevention strategies1. Aim: To determine the prevalence of hamstring tightness and its risk factors among non-professional football players. Method: This cross-sectional observational study included

Abstract:

Context:Hamstring injuries are prevalent among team and field sport athletes, and poor flexibility has been theorized as a risk factor. The active knee extension test has been proposed as the gold standard for assessment of hamstring flexibility. Many variations of this test are employed, each of which utilizes a complex apparatus that is difficult to transport, time-consuming to set up, and often unavailable to most clinicians. Thus, a method that utilizes inexpensive and readily available equipment is needed for screening.Objective:To establish the intertester and intratester reliability of

Background: The hamstring muscles play a crucial role in posture and movement, with interventions such as stretching and myofascial release commonly used to improve flexibility and muscle function. Emerging evidence suggests that targeting the hamstrings may influence distant structures like the masseter muscle through myofascial connections, highlighting the need for studies investigating these systemic interactions.

Context:Hamstring inflexibility is typically treated using therapeutic massage, stretching, and soft tissue mobilization. An alternative intervention is deep oscillation therapy (DOT). Currently, there is a lack of evidence to support DOT’s effectiveness to improve flexibility.Objective:To explore the effectiveness of DOT to improve hamstring flexibility.Design:Randomized single-cohort design.Setting:Research laboratory.Participants:Twenty-nine healthy, physically active individuals (self-reported activity of a minimum 200 min/wk).Interventions:All participants received a single session of DOT

BACKGROUND: Balance is the ability to maintain the body’s position over its support area and is crucial for performance. It involves managing the alignment of the body against gravity and other forces. Musculoskeletal system with posture, the configuration of body joints, is essential for maintaining balance and body orientation in standing positions, which is vital for daily activities and sports. Hamstrings are particularly important in maintaining the alignment of the pelvis and lower limbs. Tightness in these muscles can reduce flexibility which affect the range of motion and alter lower b

Abstract:

Background: Surfing is a sport that requires alternating high, medium, and low intensity at one time. Surfing combines three phases, namely paddling, pop-up, and wave-ride. The surf pop-up phase is characterized by a change from a paddling position to a standing position on the surfboard in one dynamic motion. During this transition, a surfer must move 75% of his body weight in less than one second. Pop-up movement is a unique challenge for the human motor system because it must be done quickly, with sufficient strength, on a moving and unstable surface that requires the readiness of the bio m

AbstractMuscle strength imbalances and poor flexibility are frequently described as risk factors for hamstring injury. Preventive strategies include eccentric exercises, but the influence of field eccentric exercises on these risk factors remains unclear. We investigated the influence of a field hamstring eccentric program on hamstring strength and flexibility. Twenty-seven amateur athletes were randomly assigned to an intervention (n=13) or control group (n=14). In the intervention group, participants were involved in 15 sessions of four eccentric exercises. Peak torque, hamstring-to-quadrice
