The effect of localised vibration on hamstring and quadriceps muscle in young adults to overcome tightness

Background: Muscle tightness in the hamstrings and quadriceps is common among young adults, leading to reduced flexibility and increased injury risk. Traditional static stretching is often used to alleviate this tightness, but its effectiveness can be limited, and it may temporarily decrease muscle strength. Localized vibration therapy has emerged as a potential alternative to enhance muscle flexibility without these drawbacks Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the immediate and short-term effects of localized vibration therapy compared to static stretching on the flexibility and functional performance of the hamstring and quadriceps muscles in young adults.
