CONTEXT: Recent studies have shown that the static stretch (SS) may adversely affect leg muscle performance. OBJECTIVES: We examined the short-term effects of two stretching exercises on hamstring muscle before and after exercise. DESIGN: Crossover. SETTING: Laboratory. PARTICIPANTS: healthy, physically active men. INTERVENTIONS: There were 3 protocols in a randomized order with a 7-day interval. The three protocols included: [1] non-stretching (CON protocol), [2] hamstring static stretching (SS) with proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF), [3] SS with kinesio taping application on hamstrings. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Outcome measures included first-felt and maximum tolerant-felt range of motion (FROM and TROM), maximal knee flexion peak torque (PT) at 180 °/s, and hamstring muscle stiffness. RESULTS: Groups were not different at pre-stretching in terms of hamstring flexibility, PT and muscle stiffness. At post-stretching, both stretching protocols showed significant increase in FROM and TROM (p < .05). More stiff hamstring muscle and decreased PT were found in both SS/PNF and CON protocols (p <.05). However, there was no significant difference in the SS/Taping protocol (p >.05). CONCLUSION: The stretching protocols improve hamstring flexibility immediately, but after exercise the hamstrings peak torque is diminished in the SS/PNF but not in the SS/Taping protocol. This means that, the SS/Taping can prevent negative results from exercise, which may prevent muscle injury. |
