Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is analyze the effects, acute and chronic, static and dynamic stretching on flexibility and neuromuscular and functional performance in active, healthy individuals. Study hypothesis:

1. 1.Static stretching program improves flexibility and reduces neuromuscular and functional performance in active, healthy individuals.
2. 2.Static stretching program improves flexibility and neuromuscular and functional performance in active, healthy individuals.

Interventions

intervention with static stretching OTHER

Members of static stretching group performed three sets of 30 second self hamstring stretch (IT) of both lower limbs, with 30 seconds of rest between sets, totaling 3 minute intervention so.

intervention with Dynamic Stretching OTHER

Each subject contracting antagonist muscle (quadriceps) to the target muscle (hamstring), performing dynamic movements of hip flexion with the knee extended, repeated every 1 second. They amounted to 3 of 30 repetitions completing approximately three minutes of dynamic stretching for each lower.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 28 Years
• Sex: male
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

• (1) male;
• (2) were aged between 18 and 28 years old;
• (3) Body mass index (BMI) of 21 to 25 kg / m2,
• (4) not be participating in lower limb stretching programs;
• (5) be healthy, according to Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q) and perform physical activity (recreational, not competitive level) for at least 3 times a week, according to the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ)
• (6) no history of injury or disease in the lower limbs in the last six months, without previous surgery in this segment;
• (7) lack of musculoskeletal, cardiorespiratory and neurological disorders that prevent the completion of the evaluation and treatment protocols;
• (8) is not under the effect of medicines that cause muscle relaxation or that inhibit muscle tonic action
• (9) has ROM limitation (degree of muscle shortening) of at least 15 ° of active extension of joelho21, the non-dominant leg (considering 180 the full extent with hip positioned at 90 ° of flexion).

You may not qualify if:

• (1) start stretching practice in daily activities during the study period;
• (2) not perform evaluative and intervention procedures;
• (3) absence of at least one of the sessions of stretching protocol;
• (4) appearance of lesions during the period in which the subject is inserted in the survey;
• (5) withdrawal in the study. Thus, it excluded eight volunteers, three per occurrence of injuries during the study period and five per withdrawal, concluding the study with a total of 45 subjects.
