Immediate effect of passive and active stretching on hamstrings flexibility: a single-blinded randomized control trial
[Purpose] This study compared the efficacy of passive and active stretching techniques on hamstring flexibility. [Subjects] Fifty-four healthy young subjects were randomly assigned to one of three groups (2 treatment groups and 1 control group). [Methods] Subjects in the passive stretching group had their knees extended by an examiner while lying supine 90° of hip flexion. In the same position,...
متن کاملInfluence of Passive Stiffness of Hamstrings on Postural Stability
The aim of the study was to explore whether passive stiffness of the hamstrings influences the strategy of maintaining postural stability. A sample of 50 subjects was selected; the final analyses were based on data of 41 individuals (33 men, 8 women) aged 21 to 29 (mean = 23.3, SD = 1.1) years. A quasi- experimental ex post facto design with repeated measures was used. Categories of independent...
متن کاملInfluences of strength, stretching and circulatory exercises on flexibility parameters of the human hamstrings.
The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of resistance training, static and ballistic stretching and stationary cycling on the range of motion (ROM) and end ROM torque of hip joint flexion, resting tension of the hamstrings and stretch-induced electromyographic (EMG) activity of the hamstrings. Four separate experimental groups performed either 15 min resistance training of the hamst...
متن کاملEffect of local fatigue of quadriceps and hamstrings on knee joint proprioception in healthy women
Abstract Objective: proprioception is part of the body's sensory system who is responsible for collecting information for the central nervous system to inform about the status of different parts of the body relative to each other Fatigue can causes disorder in the proprioception. In this research, the effect of quadriceps and hamstrings muscles fatigue on knee proprioceptive function in healt...
متن کاملComparative Study of Different Stretching Protocols on Flexibility and Passive Resistance of Hamstrings
This investigation determined the effects of different static stretching protocols on flexibility and passive resistance of the hamstrings. Forty healthy young adults were randomly assigned into one of four groups. The two training groups underwent static stretch training by a four-week and an eight-week protocol, respectively. The other two were control groups. A significant increase in hamstr...
