Aim: To compare the immediate effects of eccentric training versus dynamic stretching versus static stretching of hamstring muscle on its flexibility and vertical jump performance in basketball players.
Objectives: To compare the immediate effects of eccentric training, dynamic stretching and static stretching of hamstring on its flexibility and vertical jump performance in basketball players
Conclusion: The present study concluded that Hamstring flexibility was increased immediately after static stretching but vertical jump performance was reduced. There was no significant change in hamstring flexibility immediately after dynamic stretching but vertical jump performance was improved. There was increase in hamstring flexibility and improvement in vertical jump performance immediately after eccentric training through full ROM.
