The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of combine warm-up and stretching on hamstring flexibility with a healthy 28 years old male as a subject. A single case design, consisting of a baseline phase (A) and intervention phase (B), was used. Phase A began with daily measurement of the right hip flexion range using a goniometer during a passive straight leg raise (SLR), performing three measurements on the same session a day for 7 consecutive days. In the phase B the subject jogged on the spot for 3 minutes and performed three consecutive 30 second stretches of the right hamstring, immediately before daily measurement for 7 days. Results showed there was significant difference in hamstring flexibility between two phases. It was concluded that a combined warm-up and stretching regime is an effective way in increasing hamstring flexibility.
