This study was conducted to compare the effects of the static and Mulligan bent leg raise (BLR) techniques applied to address hamstring tightness on jumping performance. Participants with hamstring tightness participated in the study and were randomized into two groups. Group 1 (Classic Stretching Group) underwent a 30-second hamstring stretching protocol consisting of 5 repetitions. Participants in Group 2 underwent the BLR technique. Participants' active knee extension, vertical jump, and single-leg horizontal jump were measured before and after the study.
