Objective: To study the effects of retro walking on hamstring flexibility in normal healthy individual by sit and reach test.

Procedure: 50 samples were taken as per inclusion and exclusion criteria, The training was for 4 weeks period and hamstring tightness pre and post implementations were assessed by sit and reach box. The data was collected and analysed using paired t test.

Result: After 4 week increase in hamstring flexibility was seen with p value P<0.0001.

Conclusion: The study indicates that retro walking training in young adults with below average hamstring tightness who underwent backward walking training protocol for 4 weeks, showed significant improvement in the hamstring flexibility.
