Summary

In this research, the main purpose is to determine the comparison of acute effect of sciatic nerve gliding and lower extremity dynamic stretching exercises on hamstring flexibility and athletic performance. The participants will be begin with warm-up sessions for 3-5 minutes then baseline data (pre-test): hamstring flexibility will be measured. The order of pre-test will be randomized and same order will be used for post-test. This is a community service addition, added so that everyone in the society can get to know the effects of nerve gliding and lower extremity dynamic stretches on hamstring flexibility, will be cost effective, and will reduce their visits to the therapist.

Randomized controlled trial with 1 month follow-up. The sample size is 40. subjects will be divided in two groups, 20 athletes will be given a session of sciatic nerve gliding while lower extremity stretch will be given to remaining 20 athletes. Study duration is of 6 months.Sampling technique employed will be convenient with random assignment. Individuals of age group 18-40 years having male gender regularly exercise at least once a week for 30 minutes. Tools used in the study are Universal inclinometer and Active knee extension test and SLR TEST. Data will be analyzed through IBM SPSS 23

Interventions

OTHER

NEURAL GLIDING

with Sciatic nerve gliding which is done by applying force on the proximal point and releasing the force distally and then reversing the process. This process was achieved for 30 seconds, 6 times on each leg for a total time of 3 minutes (360 seconds).

OTHER

DYNAMIC STRETCH

The stretch force was applied on the ankle in downward direction which was held for 30 seconds and was repeated 5 times total of 2.5 minutes (150 seconds). Stretch was given on both legs one at a time. Treatment was given for 3 weeks with 2 sessions per week
