Abstract

Standing is one of the pillars of prayer. Incorrect standing can lead to decreased hamstring flexibility. Many people unintentionally assume the wrong position during prayer. This study aims to provide an overview of the effect of foot position during prayer on hamstring flexibility. The research method was descriptive. The measurement instruments were a questionnaire and a physical examination with Kinovea is a video annotation tool designed for posture analysis. This research method is This research is a type of non-experimental research, the research design used in this study is analytical observation, the approach used in this study is a cross-sectional approach, sampling in this study uses a non-probability sampling technique with a purposive sampling model. The instrument used to collect data in the study uses a closed questionnaire instrument. The data analysis technique in the study uses a qualitative-quantitative descriptive statistical analysis technique with a percentage. The results of this study indicate that there is a relationship between hamstring flexibility and prostration movements.
