Programming design for ROM. The ROM exercises mostly focus on the hip flexor–hamstring ROM interaction and neural flossing of the sciatic nerve. However, the lumbar area has also been taken into consideration. Players complete all sets for a specific exercise with a 20 s break between sets, then transition to the next.
