Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to compare the immediate effects of lower extremity static stretching exercises on vertical jump in sedentary individuals based on gender.

Conditions

Stretch

Keywords

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Vertical jump height

  DSY was measured with a wireless jumping platform (Ezejump, Australia). Participants were subjected to three squat jump tests on this platform with free intervals between repetitions and the maximum value obtained from the test was recorded as the vertical jump height.

  at baseline and immediately after the lower extremity static stretching exercise program

Study Arms (2)

Group 1

EXPERIMENTAL

10 sedentary women

Other: Static streching exercise

Group 2

EXPERIMENTAL

10 sedentary men

Other: Static streching exercise

Interventions

Static streching exercise OTHER

Static stretching exercises were applied to the M. Gastrocnemious and M. Hamstring muscle groups for both groups. The exercises were applied as a set, with three repetitions for 15 seconds on each leg, with a 20-second rest between repetitions. Static stretching was applied by slowly stretching the relevant muscle group to the point of sensitivity, without straining the pain threshold, and waiting in that position. All stretching exercises lasted an average of 6 minutes.

Group 1; Group 2
