Detailed Description:
The aim of this study will be to investigate the effects of different myofascial release techniques on flexibility, balance, and performance in individuals with hamstring (HT) muscle shortness. A total of 48 participants with hamstring shortness will be randomly assigned into three groups: Group I (Manual Myofascial Release Group), Group II (Graston Group), and Group III (Home Exercise Group). The Graston and manual myofascial release groups will receive interventions twice a week for 4 weeks, totaling 8 sessions, in addition to being provided with a home exercise brochure. The home exercise group will receive only the brochure. All participants will be evaluated in terms of balance, flexibility, and performance both before and after the interventions. Balance will be assessed using the Single Leg Stance Test (SLST) and the Y Balance Test (YBT); flexibility will be assessed using the V Sit and Reach Test; agility and performance will be assessed using the Illinois Agility Test and the T-Drill Test.
