Abstract
Football is a challenging, demanding and high performance sports. The Football game is played from the school level, college level to professional level. The main aspect of stretching is the sensory adaption which can be achieved only when the muscle is stretched for atleast 2 – weeks. The cause for sensory adapation is the sensitization of mechanoreceptors. The stretching of rectus femoris muscle by the method of evjenth and hamberg is widely used, which is the advanced for sensory adapation to take place. In the study, the investigator used EVJENTH and Hamberg Stretching procedure in football player to know the amount of sensory Adaptation taking place in the muscle after a 2 week stretching regimen. Stretching Regimen applied to rectus femoris muscle by Evjenth and Hamburg method is the most significant and advanced method to make the Muscle to be sensory adapted. The period of 2 week is an optimal duration in which the sensory Adaptation takes place. The football players have an advantage to exhibit their skill more easily by the enhanced effect of sensory adaptation. Employing this method in their collegiate and advanced level the players Can lead to increase performance..
