NCT02428153

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the acute effects of two different types of muscle stretching (static and dynamic) on muscle-tendon unit of gastrocnemius muscle by ultrasound and to follow how long the stretching effects are sustained.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • muscle-tendon unit length

    change in muscle tendon unit property with static and dynamic exercises will be followed by ultrasound before, right after and 5, 15 and 30 minutes after the stretching exercises

    before stretching exercises and just after the stretching exercises and 5, 15 and 30 minutes after stretching

  • pennation angle

    change in pennation angle of the gastrocnemius muscle with static and dynamic exercises will be followed by ultrasound before, right after and 5, 15 and 30 minutes after the stretching exercises

    before stretching exercises and just after the stretching exercises and 5, 15 and 30 minutes after stretching

  • muscle thickness

    change in muscle thickness of the gastrocnemius muscle with static and dynamic exercises will be followed by ultrasound before, right after and 5, 15 and 30 minutes after the stretching exercises

    before stretching exercises and just after the stretching exercises and 5, 15 and 30 minutes after stretching

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • range of ankle dorsiflexion

    before stretching exercises and just after the stretching exercises and 5, 15 and 30 minutes after stretching
