Comparative Effect of Static and Dynamic Stretching Exercise to Improve Flexibility of Hamstring Muscles among Non Athletes

Abstract

Background: Stretching exercises have been routinely used in persons with hamstring tightness and athletes to increase flexibility of muscle and to reduce joint injuries. Many studies have reported effect of static and dynamic stretching on flexibility of this muscle. Finding the best method to improve flexibility of hamstring muscle is important for athletes and individuals to reduce their injuries. Objective of the study was to find out the effect of static stretching exercise and dynamic stretching exercise on flexibility of hamstring muscle and also to compare the effect of static and dynamic stretching exercise on flexibility of hamstring muscle.

Comparative effect of static and dynamic stretching exercise to improve flexibility of hamstring muscles among male adults

Bandy compared the effects of combination of static stretching and eccentric training with controlled group. The groups that performed static hamstring stretching and a combination of eccentric training and hip-flexion range of motion for 6 weeks showed significantly greater gains in flexibility than the controlled group.…”
