The effect of specific exercises using the suspended strap technique and supplemented with chromium in rehabilitating biceps femoris muscle tears in injured tennis players

Abstract

       The research aimed to prepare exercises specific to the suspension band technique and supported by the chromium dietary supplement, and then to identify the effect of these exercises, suspension bands and the dietary supplement in rehabilitating a hamstring tear injury. The researcher hypothesized that there were significant differences between the pre- and post-test measurements in muscle strength and range of motion, favoring the post-test measurements. The researcher employed an experimental method using a single-group approach with pre- and post-tests, as per the research problem. The research population was defined as tennis players in clubs in the Middle Euphrates region. Through a comprehensive survey, the researcher selected a sample of five injured players, ensuring homogeneity among them. After defining the research variables and the appropriate tests, the researcher conducted a pilot study, followed by pre-tests to obtain preliminary results. Subsequently, the researcher implemented the main experiment, which lasted twelve weeks and included two rehabilitation sessions per week. A number of devices and tools were used to contribute to the rehabilitation of these injuries. After the specified period, the researcher conducted post-tests and extracted the results using statistical analysis. Upon reviewing the results, the researcher concluded that exercises using the suspended strap technique, supplemented with nutritional supplements, have a clear effect on the rehabilitation of biceps muscle injuries. For thigh injuries, it is recommended to perform exercises using modern methods and to supplement them with nutritional supplements to rehabilitate such injuries.
