The purpose of this study is to look into how Mulligan's bent leg raise technique and Bowen's technique affect the functional abilities and range of motion of hamstring-tight Kabaddi players. Our goal is to add to the expanding body of knowledge on sports rehabilitation by investigating the efficacy of various interventions and offering evidence-based suggestions for improving the health and performance of Kabaddi participants
Few studies have been conducted to compare bowen's technique and Mulligan bent leg raise technique kabaddi players to enhance hamstring flexibility. Present study will seek to fill this gap by comparing the effects of Bowen's technique with mulligan bent leg raise technique in enhancing hamstring flexibility and functionality. Moreover, this study would ultimately aid coaches in designing effective training program for kabaddi players.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Active Knee Extension Test | The test measured the angle of the knee flexion with the help of a goniometer after the active knee extension with the hip stabilized at 90 degrees flexion. The angle of knee flexion represented the hamstring tightness. Each subject was positioned in supine position on the examination table. The lower limb which was not been examined was stabilized across the thigh with a strap. Another strap was used to stabilize the pelvis by placing the strap over the anterosuperior iliac spine. A line was drawn between the fibular head and the lateral malleolus. The angle of knee flexion of the subject was recorded from the goniometer in degrees. | 6 weeks |
| Finger to Floor Test | The Finger to Floor Test was performed with the subject standing barefoot. The subject was asked to reach the floor with their finger-tips. The distance between the subject's long finger and the floor was measured using a standard measuring tape in centimeter's. | 6 weeks |
| Sit and Reach Test | The test involved the subjects sitting on the floor with legs stretched out straight ahead. Footwear was removed and the soles of the feet were placed against the wall. Both the knees were locked and pressed flat on the floor. With the palm facing downward, the subject reached forward along the measuring line as far as he could ensure that the hands remain at the same level. The subject was asked to hold the end position for at least 2 seconds while the distance was being measured | 6 weeks |
| Lower extremity functional scale | The Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS) is a questionnaire containing 20 questions about a person's ability to perform everyday tasks. The LEFS can be used by clinicians as a measure of patients' initial function, ongoing progress and outcome, as well as to set functional goals. The LEFS can be used to evaluate the functional impairment of a patient with a disorder of one or both lower extremities. It can be used to monitor the patient over time and to evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention |
