Background & purpose: Most sports individuals or athletes including tennis players perform stretching during warm-up prior to physical activity in order to prevent injuries and enhance sports performance by improving flexibility. Traditionally static stretching exercises have been a prominent feature of warm up routines. On the other hand, dynamic stretching improves knee joint position sense, ...

The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of plyometric and isometric training on tendon properties during ramp and ballistic contractions and muscle stiffness under passive and active conditions. Eleven subjects completed 12 weeks (3 days/week) of a unilateral training program for the plantar flexors. They performed plyometric training on one side (PLY) and isometric training on the...

Years of training, practice and unique skills are required for a Fighter pilot to perform demanding challenging operations in technologically cutting-edge aircraft. To provide concise overview physical fitness, muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) GZexposure their interaction fighter pilots. A search PubMed, CINHAL, Google scholar database was conducted find relevant studies pertaining pilots, cer...

Introduction The gastrocsoleus complex via the Achilles tendon exerts a plantar flexion moment on the foot and ankle. The manifestation of this moment on the forefoot during gait is that of plantar pressure. Stretching is routinely recommended by physicians to provide relief of forefoot pain, heel pain and plantar fasciitis, as well as being advised prior to sporting activities to minimize inju...

PURPOSE This study investigated the influence of static stretching exercises on specific exercise performances. METHODS Thirty-eight volunteers participated in this study. The stretching group (STR) consisted of 8 males and 11 females whose activity was limited to a 10-wk, 40-min, 3-d.wk(-1) static stretching routine designed to stretch all the major muscle groups in the lower extremity. The ...

PURPOSE Compare the effect of conventional static stretching and muscle chain stretching, as proposed by the global posture reeducation method, in the manual therapy of patients with chronic neck pain. METHODS Thirty-three female patients aged 35 to 60 years old, 31 of whom completed the program, were randomly divided into two groups: The global posture reeducation group (n=15) performed musc...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate whether foam roller, preexhaustion, and static stretching had any effect on isometric muscular endurance the finger flexors climbing performance in sport climbers. METHODS Nine climbers who were able perform at a difficulty 5.11d, included study. Warm-up exercise consisted myofascial release, pre-exhaustion exercises, stretching. Grip back st...

The essential exercises for a home rehabilitation program for tennis or golfer's elbow include stretching and strengthening (figure 1) to improve flexibility and range of motion, and to reduce forces on the affected tendon. Slow, passive stretching exercises and gentle strengthening exercises can be started right away.

ABSTRACT Introduction Scientific and rational post-competition training can help athletes mobilize their competitive state. Stretching is an integral part of the physical recovery program after a cycling event, increasing muscle extensibility, decreasing soreness, likelihood injury. Objective This study aims to analyze effect stretching on cyclists. Methods paper selects 20 cyclists who perform...
