Purpose: The objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of Static stretching and muscle energy technique on hamstring tightness among student population.

Methods: 100 subjects were assessed for hamstring tightness and only 60 were recruited who are willing to who later were randomly allocated into two groups. Group A (n=30) received Static stretching, where as Group B (n=30) subjects received muscle energy technique. Outcomes used were AKE and Sit & Reach

Results: Statistical analysis of the data revealed that in within group comparison both group showed significant improvement for all parameters whereas in between group comparison showed there is significant improvement at 3rd week itself and highly significant at 4th week in between groups. Post Hoc analysis reported that MET has significant change in first week itself.

Conclusion: It was concluded that static stretching and muscle energy technique is more effective in improving flexibility of hamstrings in a week.
