The Effect of Hamstring Stretching on Lumbar Muscle Activation in Officers

In the first session, participants will be instructed on the principles of spinal protection. Following this, members of the experimental group will engage in active hamstring exercises within the office environment. These exercises will be conducted for 10 minutes, consisting of 10 repetitions of 30-40 seconds of stretching followed by 30 seconds of rest, five days a week for six weeks. Participants in the experimental group will be remotely supervised during the stretching exercises.

Participants will receive workplace training on spine protection principles and subsequently be placed on a waiting list. Throughout this process, individuals in the designated group will receive text messages on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays over the course of six weeks. These messages will contain information aimed at assisting them in maintaining correct posture throughout the workday.
