Flexibility is the ability to rotate a single joint or series of joint smoothly and easily through an unrestricted, and pain free range of motion. The vertical jump test is a physical fitness test. It is an effective exercise for building both endurance and explosive power. Myofascial release technique is a treatment approach, a therapy and a rehabilitation tool. It is a hands-on therapy, meaning that the therapist applies pressure with the hands onto, and into, the client's body Aim and Objective: of study find out immediate effect of myofascial release on hamstrings, for muscle flexibility, vertical jump among recreational badminton players. Method: 6 young recreational badminton players will be recruited for study. There will be perform myofascial release technique on muscle. Flexibility will be measure by 90 - 90 hamstring tests. Vertical Jump will be evaluated through vertical height jump test. Results: hamstring play a significant effect in vertical jump height and the flexibility of the muscles increases after the administration of MFR. Vertical jump height for hamstring (p > 0.0028) showed extremely improvement. Flexibility of right hamstring muscle (p > 0.0035) and left (P > 0.0028) also showed significant difference. Conclusion: The study concluded that MFR has immediate effect on increasing muscle flexibility and muscle power.
