Abstract :
Background: The purpose was to compare the effect of foam rolling versus static stretching on hamstring tightness in nurses. Methodology: 30 participants were selected according to the selection criteria. They were randomly divided into 2 groups. Group A was given foam rolling and group B was given static stretching. Sit and reach test and active knee extension were used to assess for the hamstring tightness. The outcome measures were assessed before and after the intervention. The result was analyzed after the post intervention of both the treatments in both the groups using the Students paired and unpaired ‘t’ test. Result: In group A foam rolling and In group B static stretching there was significant improvement after post intervention sit and reach test and active knee extension 37.40+ 3.91, 56.53+ 5.83 58.07+ 6.36. 33.60+3.20, 51.67+5.77 49.13+ 5.00.
