The aim of the current study is to determine the effects of foam rolling versus stretching exercises on quadriceps, hamstrings and muscle length in university sport's students. It will be a Randomized control trial and will be conducted at University of Lahore. Purposive sampling technique will be used to collect data as per inclusion criteria the participant age between 18 to 25 years and male and female healthy participants. A history of cardiovascular or respiratory disease, any history of fractures or surgeries in the lower extremity in the past years will be excluded.
Patients will be randomly allocated into two groups; Group A will be treated with the effects of foam rolling on quadriceps, hamstrings and calf muscles. 5 min cycle ergometry, 6 min foam rolling 3 times for 30sec. Group B will be treated with the effects of stretching exercise on quadriceps, hamstrings and calf muscles. 5 min cycle ergometry, 6 min stretching exercises 3 times for 30sec for three sessions of treatment per week will be given. In both group's pre and post-test measurements of quadriceps, hamstrings and calf muscle length will be assessed through goniometer and Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS) will be assessed to measure initial functions of lower limb. Evaluation will be done before session start and at the end of week. Total session will be given for at least 2 months.

- Lower extremity functional scale (LEFS) [ Time Frame: 8th Week ]It is a questionnaire containing 20 questions about the person's ability to perform task. The LESF can be used by clinicians as a measure of patient's initial function ongoing progress and outcome, as well as to set functional goals.
- . Goniometric: [ Time Frame: 8th Week ]It is an instrument which measures the available range of motion at a joint. To measure lower extremity muscles range of motion i.e. quadriceps, hamstrings and calf muscle length
