Acute Effect of Improved Hip Range of Motion on Maximum Hip Angle in Pole Vaulting: A Pilot Study

Background: Large maximum hip flexion and extension range of motion is considered effective in preventing injury pole vaulters. Nonetheless, whether the improvement changes their joint angle during vaulting remains unclear. Objectives: The present study aimed to clarify acute effects intervention for vaulters on vaulting. Methods: Seventeen male who underwent same were included. vault from touchdown last step run-up straightening was calculated videos taken pre- post-intervention subsequently compared. cleared bungee bars that set at height 90% personal best record. Three types self-massages used improve motion, an active straight leg raise exercise also performed. All programs completed approximately 25 min experimental day, all interventions monitored by examiner. Results: No significant improvements observed between pre motion. magnitude change significantly correlated with pre-and (P = 0.002, r 0.687). Conclusions: Athletes should find ways prevent injuries performance. Coaches athletic trainers adopt as indicator control athlete conditioning.
