Interventions and Viscoelasticity of Hamstring

Athletes were asked to reach the floor in the BS group by leaning over in the standing posture without knee flexion. When they feel the tension in hamstring muscle groups, athletes were requested to make small rebounding motion at degrees between 3°-5° for half a minute.

Athletes were asked to applied 12 repetitions and 3 sets of hamstring extender exercise. Firstly athlete lies on his/her back. Then, athlete is asked to do 90 degrees of knee and hip flexion at the same time. Finally, the person is expected to perform slow repetitive knee extension to the point of maximal possible extension.

Kinesio tape is applied on the hamstring muscle with a Y shape and %25 tension force.
