    [abstract] => Background: The hamstrings refer to a group of muscles positioned at the back of the thigh, namely the biceps femoris, semimembranosus and semitendinosus.[1] The Nordic hamstring exercise is a way of training the hamstrings by slowly controlling the muscle as it lengthens. Retrowalking is a locomotor activity performed by moving backwards which helps the body to get into right position to carry out different tasks, activities.
Method: Thirty individuals aged 18-30 years with hamstring flexibility >330 in males and >230 in females were divided into two groups. Nordic Hamstring Exercise and Retrowalking. Both interventions were performed thrice a week for four weeks.
Results: The comparison of values of pre and post intervention of right AKET (Active knee extension test), left AKET (Active knee extension test) and LEFT (Lower extremity functional test) showed statistical significance of p< 0.001 i.e. increase in post intervention score in Group A as compared to Group B.
Conclusion: The present study finds that Nordic hamstring exercise showed more improvement in hamstring flexibility and functional performance in recreational badminton players than Retrowalking.
