Summary

The hamstring muscle group is located at the back of the thigh. Due to its structure and people's habits, shortness in this muscle group is frequently observed. Shortness can cause problems such as low back pain, gait disturbances, thigh pain, and more. Numerous exercises and treatment methods have been used to restore flexibility to this muscle. This study will examine the acute effects of mulligan straight leg raises and foam rolling on university students with short hamstrings.
