Inside the envelopes will be papers A and B. The participant's who chooses envelope A will be placed in the first group (stretching exercises with foam roller) and the participant's who chooses envelope B will be placed in the second group (stretching exercises with vibrating foam roller), Blinding description: Blinding of participant's using sealed envelopes labeled A and B, indicating the training group of stretching exercises with vibrating foam roller (A) and stretching exercises with regular foam roller (B). participant's will randomly select an envelope and be assigned to the desired group. Participants will not be informed of the placement of other participant's in the groups.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: First Intervention group : The participants will run for 3 minutes at a moderate pace (so that the person can talk easily). Then they will perform dynamic stretching exercises in the lower and upper limbs. After performing dynamic stretching exercises, the participants will perform vibrating foam roller exercises. These exercises include 5 movements in the hamstring, gastrocnemius, rotator cuff, quadriceps, and back and lumbar muscles, each lasting 20 seconds. The vibrating foam roller exercises will be performed at an intensity of 30HZ. Intervention 2: Second Intervention group: The participants will run for 3 minutes at a moderate pace (so that the person can talk easily). Then they will perform dynamic stretching exercises in the lower and upper limbs. After performing dynamic stretching exercises, the participants will perform foam roller exercises. These exercises include 5 movements in the hamstrings, gastrocnemius, rotator cuff, quadriceps, and back and lumbar muscles, each lasting 20 seconds.</i_freetext>

    <primary_outcome>
      <prim_outcome>Quadriceps flexibility. Timepoint: In two stages pre-test and after applying the desired intervention in the post-test. Method of measurement: The flexibility of the quadriceps will be measured with the Alley test. The participants will lie prone and the evaluator will place a plastic goniometer on the participants knee. The fixed arm of the ruler will be positioned in line with the greater trochanter of the femur, the movable arm will be positioned in line with the lateral ankle. The pelvis will be prevented from lifting off the floor while the knee is flexed. The average of the two measurements will be recorded as the standard.</prim_outcome>
      <prim_outcome>Hamstring flexibility. Timepoint: In two stages pre-test and after applying the desired intervention in the post-test. Method of measurement: The knee extension angle test is performed to measure hamstring flexibility with the participants lying on their back with both legs in full knee extension. The participants hip and knee are flexed to 90 degrees and the opposite leg is fixed to the bed. Clinically, the endpoint is reached when the examiner feels slight resistance or the subject reports a strong but tolerable stretch in the hamstring muscle. The goniometer is placed on the participants knee, with the fixed arm at maximum knee extension and the other arm in line with the lateral ankle.</prim_outcome>
      <prim_outcome>Agility. Timepoint: In two stages pre-test and after applying the desired intervention in the post-test. Method of measurement: The T-test is used to measure the agility of individuals. This test will be performed in such a way that four marks are placed on the ground in the form of a T and the participants  will stand behind the initial mark. Then, with the whistle, he will run 10 yards towards the opposite mark and then change direction to the left and go 5 yards in a footbox manner towards the next mark. After reaching the next mark, he will go 10 yards to the right of the footbox and after touching the 5-yard mark, he will go to the left of the footbox and after reaching the next mark, he will run 10 yards back and after passing the initial mark, his time in seconds will be recorded as a measure for assessing agility.</prim_outcome>
      <prim_outcome>Reaction time. Timepoint: In two stages pre-test and after applying the desired intervention in the post-test. Method of measurement: Dropping a ruler is a method of estimating reaction time. The participants  will be asked to place their dominant hand horizontally on a table in a resting position. The examiner will hang the ruler vertically so that the other end of the ruler is in line with the top of the participants  open hand. When the examiner drops the ruler, the participants must pick it up as quickly as possible. The time will be recorded in seconds and will be used as a measure of reaction time.</prim_outcome>
