Hamstring-targeted physiotherapy interventions are widely used in clinical practice; however, comparative evidence regarding their effects on muscle mechanical properties and LBP in adolescent rowing populations is limited.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To compare the effects of ballistic hamstring stretching, hamstring extender exercise, and kinesiotaping on hamstring viscoelastic properties, low back pain, and athletic performance in elite adolescent rowers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This single-blind, parallel-group randomized controlled trial included 60 elite male adolescent rowers (aged 14\u201318 years) with chronic low back pain, and participants were randomly assigned to three groups for a twelve-week program performed during training sessions four times per week. All outcomes were assessed at baseline and week 12, including hamstring viscoelastic properties measured using a handheld myotonometer, pain intensity assessed with the Numeric Pain Rating Scale, and athletic performance evaluated by the 2000-m rowing ergometer and standing long jump tests. Data were analyzed using age-adjusted analysis of covariance (ANCOVA).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>After adjustment for baseline values and age, both exercise-based interventions were associated with more favorable changes in hamstring viscoelastic properties and greater reductions in pain intensity compared with kinesiotaping (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001).
