Effect of Active Dynamic Versus Passive Static Stretching on Hamstring Muscle Tightness in Healthy Female Students: A Randomized Trial Study
Background: For decades, static stretching has been the standard benchmark for training programs, because it has been shown to increase flexibility compared with other methods of stretching. Objective: The current study investigated and compared the effects of active dynamic stretching and passive static stretching on hamstring tightness. Me...
متن کاملModerate-duration static stretch reduces active and passive plantar flexor moment but not Achilles tendon stiffness or active muscle length.
The effects of static stretch on muscle and tendon mechanical properties and muscle activation were studied in fifteen healthy human volunteers. Peak active and passive moment data were recorded during plantar flexion trials on an isokinetic dynamometer. Electromyography (EMG) monitoring of the triceps surae muscles, real-time motion analysis of the lower leg, and ultrasound imaging of the Achi...
متن کاملDoes long-term passive stretching alter muscle-tendon unit mechanics in children with spastic cerebral palsy?
BACKGROUND Cerebral palsy causes motor impairments during development and many children may experience excessive neural and mechanical muscle stiffness. The clinical assumption is that excessive stiffness is thought to be one of the main reasons for functional impairments in cerebral palsy. As such, passive stretching is widely used to reduce stiffness, with a view to improving function. Howeve...
متن کاملEffect of modified hold-relax stretching and static stretching on hamstring muscle flexibility
[Purpose] The aim of present study was to compare the effectiveness of modified hold-relax stretching and static stretching in improving the hamstring muscle flexibility. [Subjects and Methods] Forty-five male subjects with hamstring tightness were included in this study. The subjects were randomly placed into three groups: the modified hold-relax stretching, static stretching and control group...
متن کاملthe effect of duration of static stretching on maximal voluntary contraction and flexibility in hamstring muscles
the purpose of the present study was to investigate whether duration of static stretching could affect the maximal voluntary contraction (mvc) and flexibility of hamstring muscles. 10 male physical education students randomly performed three warm-up protocols on different days. the protocols included: a) five minutes of treadmill run and 45 seconds (3×15 seconds) of static stretching of hamstri...
