Summary

In the literature, the evidence regarding the effects of different static stretching times on elasticity is very limited, and the evidence on the effects on flexibility varies. Although 10 to 30 seconds of static stretching is said to be effective, studies on which duration is effective for which muscle group are quite limited. Based on these, the aim of this study is to examine the effects of stretching exercises of different periods on muscle elasticity to be applied to thin and thick muscle groups. In order to evaluate its effectiveness, assessment of evaluation of muscle flexibility, active-passive range of motion were being applied.

Conditions

  • Rehabilitation
  • Muscle Tightness

Interventions

OTHER

Static Stretching Exercise for 10 Seconds

The participants were asked to do a static stretching exercise for the Hamstring and Gracilis muscles for 10 seconds. The participants were asked to continue for 8 weeks, 3 days a week, 3 times a day - 10 repetitions.

OTHER

Static Stretching Exercise for 30 Seconds

The participants were asked to do a static stretching exercise for the Hamstring and Gracilis muscles for 30 seconds. The participants were asked to continue for 8 weeks, 3 days a week, 3 times a day - 10 repetitions.
