Study start date: June 15, 2026

Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.

This research focuses on understanding the immediate impacts of neurodynamics, a technique often employed by physical therapists to enhance nerve mobility and alleviate pain, on the strength and muscular endurance of athletes. The study particularly aims to discover whether these techniques can sustain or even boost strength and endurance in the hamstrings. The findings from this study could significantly aid physical therapists in devising more effective exercise routines and hands-on treatments for conditions and injuries related to the hamstring and sciatic nerve.
