Background: Football is a dynamic sport that requires athlete to perform many different movements and skills such as rapid acceleration and deceleration, jumping, kicking, and sliding, quick changes of directions. Hamstring muscle injury being the commonest injury is due to hamstring tightness. Prevalence of hamstring injury is common in football players because of its tightness. Muscle energy technique helps in increasing Hamstring flexibility of football players with hamstring tightness. Purpose of Study: The purpose of this study was to find out the effect of Muscle energy technique on kicking speed in football players with hamstring tightness. The players were given 6 days Muscle energy technique on hamstring muscle to improve its flexibility. Kicking speed time was checked pre and post Muscle energy technique. Materials and Methodology: Football players with hamstring tightness [n=40] were included in this study. Muscle energy technique was given for hamstring tightness for 6 days. Pre and post kicking speed time of the players were noted. Result: There was decrease in kicking speed time of the players when compared with pre [0.785] and post [0.4450] Muscle energy technique was proved statistically significant [p=0.000]. Conclusion: It is concluded that Muscle energy technique helps in decreasing the kicking speed time i.e. the ball will cover the given distance in shorter period of time in football players with hamstring tightness and hence helps in bringing out their best performance on field. Key words: Muscle energy technique [MET], Hamstring tightness, kicking speed time.

Futsal is an upcoming popular sport in the industry, it is an active dynamic sport which requires the players to perform various movements like rapidly accelerating and decelerating, it also requires them to rapidly change their direction of movement, it also involves a lot of sliding and kicking. Compared to other athletic sports played worldwide, futsal is a rather vigorous sport with increased incidence of injuries. Tightness in the hamstring muscles can lead to various injuries. The prevalence of hamstring muscle injuries is very high in futsal players due to muscle tightness. This study aims to determine the effects of Muscle Energy Technique (MET) on hamstring flexibility among futsal players. After being screened as per the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the participants were given the chronic implication of MET where the technique was performed for seven to ten seconds with twenty percent of resistive effort synchronized with the breathing pattern of the participant and then stretched to the new muscle length, this was repeated until no further gain was possible. The hamstring length was assessed using the Active Knee Extension Test (AKET) before and after the intervention, the values were then compared. The result of the study had shown an improvement in the hamstring length following the intervention (16.50) to be statistically significant (P <0.01) when compared to the baseline findings (23.67). It has been concluded that MET can increase the hamstring flexibility among futsal players, thus it will be able to reduce the injury rate.Keywords: Hamstring Flexibility, Muscle Energy Technique, Hamstring tightness,Futsal Players, Active Knee Extension.

Introduction: Kabaddi is one of the most popular games, which makes it our national pride. Kabaddi requires a lot of power, strength, flexibility, agility, speed, breath control and wariness. The game comes under contact sports and hence injuries are common. Muscle Energy Technique (MET) is a form of manual therapy used to relax the muscles via autogenic or reciprocal inhibition and lengthen the muscle, which uses muscle’s own energy in the form of gentle isometric contraction. The purpose of this study is to find out the effectiveness of MET on improving hamstring muscle flexibility, active knee extension (AKE) range, and agility in high school level kabaddi players. Subjects: 30 female amateur kabaddi players Methodology: 30 high school level Kabaddi players were assessed and selected based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and assigned into two groups. Group A (experimental n=15) received MET along with conventional exercises and Group B received Conventional flexibility exercises alone for 5 consecutive days. Pre-post and a follow-up measurement of hamstring flexibility, AKE and agility was taken using flexometer, 90-90 test and agility T-test. Results: Statistical analysis was done using paired and unpaired t-test. In paired t-test, the hamstring muscle flexibility improved significantly on day 5, on follow-up day 8 measurement it showed reduction in flexibility but not significant for both groups. The AKE of right and left knee joint has significantly improved on day 5 and there was significant reduction on day 8. Whereas the agility for both groups has significantly improved on day 5 and 8. On unpaired t-test, there is significant difference between both groups for all 3 outcomes. Conclusion: The Muscle energy Technique is effective on improving hamstring muscle flexibility, Active knee extension range and agility in 5 day MET programme. Therefore, concluded that Muscle Energy Technique is effective and can be administered on-field prior to sports events, and thereby improve player’s performance.

Background: Shortening of the hamstring muscles results in pain, limited range of motion, postural instability, and abnormal gait, which effect on daily activities. Muscle energy technique provides a solution to shortening the hamstring muscles by improving muscle flexibility. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of muscle energy technique in increasing hamstring muscle flexibility in adolescents. Subjects and Method: This was a quasi-experiment pretest-posttest without a control group conducted at No. 1 High School Jogonalan, Klaten, Central Java in April 2018. A total of 30 students was selected with purposive sampling method in which one student dropped out. The dependent variable was flexibility of hamstring muscle. The independent variable was muscle energy technique training. The flexibility of hamstring muscle was measured by back saver sit and reach test. Data were analyzed by Wilcoxon test. Results: Flexibility of hamstring muscle was higher after muscle energy technique (Mean= 39.92; SD= 4.24) than before (Mean= 30.14; SD= 3.59), and it was statistically significant (p <0.001). Conclusion: Muscle energy technique increases flexibility of hamstring muscle. Muscle exercise technique can be used to improve hamstring muscle flexibility.
