Cross-sectional survey assessed the effects of hamstring flexibility on gait speed and endurance, suggesting early intervention is essential.

Hamstring tightness minimally affected gait speed but moderately impacted lower limb function during endurance tests.
Of 384 participants, 290 (75.5%) were found to have hamstring tightness based on the Active Knee Extension Test.
A significant percentage, 83.1%, had average performance in the 30-second sit-to-stand test indicating lowered endurance.
Results imply the need for early identification of hamstring tightness to prevent functional limitations in young adults.

Noor et al. (2025) studied this question.
