Abstract:

Introduction: Quadriceps is one of the strongest muscle of the body that is required for knee mobility. Quadriceps plays a crucial role in many daily activities such as walking, twisting, running, jumping, and controlling the movement of knee. Since it’s a two joint muscle, they tend to become very to tight leading to imbalance, which can give rise to a number of postural problems and common musculoskeletal disorder causing pain in the knee joint. It could be acute, subacute and chronic in its clinical presentation. Hence strengthening of quadriceps femoris is necessary.
Materials and Methods: a total of 90 participants within age of 21 to 29 years and  BMI 19.9 to 24.9 having no neurological, cardiopulmonary and musculoskeletal disease were selected.
Results: of the total 90 subjects, the mean age of the participants in group A 21.67±0.88 the mean age of participants in group B was 22.23±1.33 and the mean age of participants in the group C was 22.03±1.27. The result showed high significance in the group B. 
Conclusion: the study showed increase in the quadriceps muscle strength in group B. KEY WORDS: Trainer, Elastic Band, Quadriceps femoris, Muscle strength, Musculoskeletal disorders.
