About this study
To compare the immediate effect of dynamic stretching with and without floss band on the hamstring flexibility in futsal players.
Read the detailed description
Futsal is a soccer-like indoor sport that has been gaining popularity worldwide.To increase the flexibility and ROM of involved muscle group a new method has been introduced named Flossing of tissue by using a floss band.
This research study will be helpful to enable therapists to broaden their treatment plans or choose better treatment tools for improving hamstrings flexibility in futsal players. Thus, this study has been designed with the purpose to examine the effect of dynamic stretching with and without floss band on the flexibility of the hamstring.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Dynamic Stretching with Floss BandOther
Floss band involves wrapping a band made of natural rubber around the targeted joint or muscle for 1-3 minutes through active movement. The mechanism behind flossing is thought to have a "three-fold effect", compression may stimulate the mechanoreceptors of the underlying fascia layer which causes the hyperemia of the targeted tissue, and leads to increased blood flow.
This intervention was applied in addition to dynamic stretching which involved 3 types of dynamic stretches. These stretches were applied through multidirectional (anteromedial, anterior, and anterolateral) leg swings specifically for the Hamstring muscle. It was performed in 3 sets of 15 repetitions with 30 seconds of rest between each exercise.
Dynamic Stretching without Floss BandOther
In this group, only dynamic stretching was applied which involved 3 types of dynamic stretches. These stretches were applied through multidirectional (anteromedial, anterior, and anterolateral) leg swings specifically for the Hamstring muscle. It was performed in 3 sets of 15 repetitions with 30 seconds of rest between each exercise.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| With Floss Band | Experimental | Floss band made of natural rubber, black in color and 4" in width will be wrapped around the thigh, starting from the distally to superiorly with an overlap of 50%. Perform exercises:
• Multi-directional leg swing Receives: Other: Dynamic Stretching with Floss Band |
| Without floss Band | Active comparator | Perform exercises without floss band.
• Multi-directional leg swing Receives: Other: Dynamic Stretching without Floss Band |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Straight Leg Raise (SLR) Test
Universal goniometer was used to measure SLR angle.
Measured: Baseline and immediately after the intervention
Active Knee Extension (AKE) Test
Universal goniometer was used to measure AKE angle.
Measured: Baseline and immediately after the intervention
Sit and Reach Test
A ruler was used to measure Sit and Reach Test Score.
Measured: Baseline and immediately after the intervention
Secondary outcomes (2)
Serum Creatine Kinase (CK) Levels
Creatine-kinase is a type of enzyme that muscle cell need to function, small amount of CK is present in our blood but high level indicates muscle injury. CK-MM is the substance rises when skeletal muscle is injured. This test is valid(r=0.58) and reliable (r=0.87) to check the muscle damage.
Measured: Baseline and after 24 hours of the intervention
Serum Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) levels
Lactate Dehydrogenase is an enzyme found in body and it converts sugar into energy. When a tissue is damaged, the level of this enzyme in blood increases. This test is valid (r=0.98) to check the muscle damage
Measured: Baseline and after 24 hours of the intervention
