Summary

Stretching effects skeletal muscle flexibility, vascularity and physical performance. The aim of our study is to examine the acute effects of static stretching duration on gastrocnemius muscle vascularization in healthy participants by superb microvascular imaging (SMI) and to compare the effects of 2 and 5 minutes of static stretching on blood flow.

Conditions

  • Muscle Stretching Exercises

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

2 Minute Static Stretching

Stretching applications will be applied to the first group for 2 minutes. Static stretching exercise will be performed under the supervision of a physiotherapist as 30 seconds of stretching and 30 seconds of rest and and the individuals will be asked to participate in the exercise actively.

BEHAVIORAL

5 Minute Static Stretching

Stretching applications will be applied to the first group for 5 minutes. Static stretching exercise will be performed under the supervision of a physiotherapist as 30 seconds of stretching and 30 seconds of rest and and the individuals will be asked to participate in the exercise actively.
