Static stretching

Participants will be divided into two groups with sample size of 52 participants in each group. Group 1: Participants will perform static Stretching protocols. There were no special warm-up exercises (running and skipping) after the implementation of static stretching exercises. After the general warm-up, participants would engage in a sequence of randomized static stretches including Lower back stretch, Quads stretch, Hams Stretch, Calf Stretch and Upper limb Stretches (biceps, Triceps, Arm across chest, Arm pull and head tilt, Side stretch, backward arm stretch, Pect. stretch and Towel Stretch). All stretches were done as 3 sets of 30 seconds for 20 minutes for 5 days per week and held at the point of mild discomfort. Readings will be taken after 1st, 3rd and 6th week, respectively.
