Comparison of Active Isolated Stretch and Post Isometric Relaxation for Hamstring Flexibility.

In supine position, participant was asked to lock the knee and slowly lift leg using the quadriceps muscles. gentle assistance was given by the rope at the end of the movement, as the quadriceps muscles continue to move the leg. strech was applied for 2 sec and then release to starting position. two sets of 10 repetitions were performed.

In supine line, participant was asked to do SLR until resistance was met in hamstring muscles and then was asked to do isometric contraction (10-20% of maximum) for 5 - 10 sec and inhale. After this, patient was asked to exhale while doing so gentle stretch was applied till the new barrier. Starting from this new barrier, the procedure was repeated 2 - 3 times.
