Abstract
Background: Hamstring flexibility is highly desirable in fast bowling as it involves sprint, vertical jump and many more activities. There are different methods of technique to improve the length of musculotendinous unit. Such as static stretching, dynamic stretching, PNF and myofascial release techniques. One technique known as self myofascial release is foam rolling. The foam roll is a solid foam cylinder available in different degrees of hardness and size. Very few studies are available on comparison of density of foam roller and their effectiveness on hamstring flexibility. Objectives: Compare immediate effects of plane medium density foam roller versus rumbled medium density foam roller to increase flexibility of hamstring in club level fast bowlers. Methods: Various cricket clubs will be visited in around the city. The subjects were selected on the basis of their inclusion and exclusion criteria. Group of subjects were divided into half i.e. Group A and Group B by random allocation (chit method). Both the groups were assessed for hamstring flexibility by SIT REACH TEST and data was recorded. Group A and group B subjects was given the protocol with the plane medium density foam roller and rumbled medium density foam roller respectively. Hamstring flexibility of subjects in both the groups was assessed by SIT REACH TEST immediately after 10 min. The data was recorded and data analysis will be done. Results: Statistical analysis showed that immediate effect of plane medium density foam roller and medium density rumbled foam roller showed p value <0.001 which was highly effective using paired t test. The Post comparison of both foam roller showed p value >0.5 which was not effective using unpaired t test. Conclusion: This study shows that both Medium Density Plane Foam Roller and Medium Density Rumbled Foam Roller are equally effective to increase flexibility of hamstring in club level fast bowlers.
