The ability of an individual to move smoothly depends on his flexibility, an attribute that
enhances both safety and optimal physical activity. Hamstring tightness leads to hamstring
injuries and hamstring injuries are the most common type of injury among athletes. These
injuries are slow to recover, make high health expenditure and decrease the performance level
of the athlete.
The hamstring is an example of the muscle group that has a tendency to get shorten Muscle
tightness is caused by a decrease in the ability of the muscle to deform, resulting in a
decrease in the range of motion at the joint on which it acts. Inability to achieve greater
than 120° of knee extension with the hip at 90° of flexion is considered as hamstring
tightness.
