Summary

A total of 154 healthy young individuals will be recruited by purposive sampling method to participate in a randomized, single-blinded, sham-controlled study. Recruited participants will be randomly dividing into two groups, the Active high-intensity laser therapy (a-HILT) group, and the Sham high-intensity laser therapy (s-HILT) group. The treatment duration will be 10 minutes per session on both lower limbs for each day for 3 days/week for 2 weeks. Hamstring muscle length will be assessed at baseline, end of the 2-week post-intervention period.

Conditions

• Muscle Tightness

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Active High-intensity laser therapy	High-intensity laser therapy will be used in the contact method, with the laser beam irradiated over the hamstring muscle. Dosage and parameters for the laser will be calculated. Parameters- 1. Wavelength- 980 nm 2. Intensity/Power density- 3W/cm2 3. Emission mode- Continuous Emission 4. Energy (Joules)- 490 J 5. Irradiation time- 70 Sec on each point 6. Peak power- 15 Watt 7. Irradiation points- 09
DEVICE	Sham High-intensity laser therapy	Sham High-intensity laser therapy will be used in the contact method, without the laser beam irradiation over the hamstring muscle.
