Abstract

          Background: The aim of this study was to collect data on the results of the active knee extension test in subjects with reducution in hamstring extensibility to establish the significance of holistic physiotherapeutic approach compared to structured stretching influence over hamstring flexibility relater motor fitness variables. Forty asymptomatic male subjects, age range (14-28) with hamstring tightness performed the active knee extension test followed by the v sit reach test. A goniometer and measuring tape were used to measure the knee flexion angle of the active knee extension test flexibility athletes were also subjected to shuttle run, 40 meters sprint test vertical jump test for lower limb motor fitness variables. The statistical analysis was performed to find out the effectiveness of structured stretching holistic physiotherapy approach in improving hamstring flexibility motor fitness variables the analysis of covariance was used to analyse the results. At the conclusion of the study, holistic physiotherapy group had the largest overall mean difference between protest and post-test knee extension degrees measurements, V sit reach test measurement, vertical jump performance on power, agility shuttle run 40 meters sprint speed. This study was designed to obtain a more thorough understanding of handling hamstring tightness motor performance for increasing hamstring flexibility related motor fitness variables, and how the use, holistic physiotherapeutic approach can affect these parameters in the clinical setting. Holistic approach has proven it can accelerate both hamstring flexibility and lower limb motor performance. Athletic education and tailor-made exercise in the holistic perspective are the keys to maintain flexibility and excel in motor fitness.

KEY WORDS: Hamstring tightness flexible stretching holistic approach in Hamstring tightness motor fitness.
