Abstract

|
|
|
The purpose of this study was to determine the efficient way of stretching technique from three methods, and of stretching duration and frequency. Sretching is known to improve musculotendinous flexibility and joint suppleness, and employed in many warm-up routines during physical activities and athletic performances. The benefits and the rationale of stretching have been reviewed. Many authors agree that, for the best results, static stretching has to be held for approximately 30 sec. in a trial, three trials in a session, at least three times a week for four weeks. Further clinical studies are required for elucidating more informations on this subject.
