Effect of submaximal contraction intensity in contract-relax proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation stretching.
OBJECTIVE To determine if submaximal contractions used in contract-relax proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (CRPNF) stretching of the hamstrings yield comparable gains in hamstring flexibility to maximal voluntary isometric contractions (MVICs). METHOD Randomised controlled trial. A convenience sample of 72 male subjects aged 18-27 was used. Subjects qualified by demonstrating tight ha...

Sheard, PW and Paine, TJ. Optimal contraction intensity during proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation for maximal increase of range of motion. J Strength Cond Res 24(X): 000–000, 2009—An informal review of literature on the use of postisometric relaxation (PIR) type proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) indicates that the force of contraction requested from the athlete ranges from ...
متن کاملApplying proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation stretching: optimal contraction intensity to attain the maximum increase in range of motion in young males
[Purpose] Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching is known to be effective in increasing joint ROM. The PNF stretching technique first induces an isometric contraction in the muscles to be stretched, but no agreement concerning the optimal contraction intensity has yet been reached. The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of contraction intensity on ROM whi...
متن کامل11 Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) is a dynamic approach to the evaluation and treatment of neuromusculoskeletal dysfunction with particular emphasis on the trunk. Over the past couple of decades substantial progress has been made in the conservative care of spinal problems.1-5 The shift towards evaluating and treating them from a functional or neuromuscular perspective enhances an...
متن کاملThe effect of static, ballistic, and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation stretching on vertical jump performance.
The purpose of this study was to compare the acute effects of different modes of stretching on vertical jump performance. Eighteen male university students (age, 24.3 +/- 3.2 years; height, 181.5 +/- 11.4 cm; body mass, 78.1 +/- 6.4 kg; mean +/- SD) completed 4 different conditions in a randomized order, on different days, interspersed by a minimum of 72 hours of rest. Each session consisted of...
