Effects of Hamstring Shortness on Jump Performance in Young Basketball Players Impact

Turkey (Türkiye)84 participantsStarted 2023-12-21

Plain-language summary

In the realm of sports performance, particularly in disciplines demanding explosive lower-body strength and agility, such as basketball, an athlete's ability to execute powerful and high-reaching jumps plays a pivotal role. Optimal lower-extremity flexibility, particularly in the hamstrings, is crucial for achieving maximum vertical jump height. Hamstring shortness, characterized by limited flexibility and reduced muscle extensibility, is frequently observed among athletes and has been linked to compromised jump performance.
