Abstract
Objective: Influence of age on hamstring tightness in apparently healthy individuals. Design: Experiment Design. Subjects: 360 healthy individuals. Measurements and Intervention: 360 healthy individuals were divided into 6 groups and their hamstring tightness was checked and they were compared. Main Outcomes Measure: Hamstring muscle tightness. Results: The data was analyzed using Independent test, ANOVA and paired test. ANOVA was used to compare left and right hamstring tightness between Group 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. Independent test was used to compare left and right hamstring tightness between males and females. Paired t test was used to find out the difference between left and right hamstring tightness in all 6 groups (P value < 0.05) was considered significant. Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that hamstring tightness is present in early childhood and increases with age in apparently healthy subjects.
