“…However, some assumptions should be considered. Albeit the literature suggest that static stretching improves flexibility better than dynamic stretching (BANDY IRON, 1994;BRIGGLER, 1997;ROBERTS WILSON, 1999;HEDRICK, 2000), the present study showed significant flexibility gains through dynamic exercises. Furthermore, it can be speculate that flexibility gains noted in the present study could also be related to muscular strength gains after the Pilates training.…”

The purpose of the present study was to assess the effects of a Pilates training program on muscular strength and flexibility in dance students. Fifteen dance students were divided into 2 groups: experimental (n=7) and control (n=8). Both were assessed in beginning and in the end of the study. Muscular strength was assessed measuring the time supported in the technical skills penché and developpé. To asses flexibility, it was measured the angle between limbs in the technical skills arabesque, developpé and cambré. After the first moment of evaluation, the experimental group performed a Mat-Based Pilates Exercise during 11 weeks. The statistic analyses (two-way analysis of variance - ANOVA 2x2) showed significant differences (p ≤ 0,05) in muscular strength and flexibility measurements between groups after the training program. It was concluded that Pilates training has a positive effect on muscular strength and flexibility in dance students.

“…There are various techniques of stretching, including static, ballistic, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) and dynamic stretching (1,2,13,14). Static stretching is widely used because it is easy and safe (1,2,13,14,24). Recent studies (4,8,7,9,10,17,23,25), however, have shown that static stretching reduces strength and power production, i.e., muscular performance, of the stretched muscle group.…”

“…Hedrick (2000) also reported that increased muscle temperature helps muscleσ to contract more powerfully and to relax faster. Although in the present study muscle temperature was not measured, the sweating observed in all the participants indicated an increase of muscle and body temperature which may explain the improvement in sprint performance.…”

“…Nowadays, more and more athletes incorporate dynamic stretching in their warm-up as recent research supports its positive effect on the joint range of motion when the exercises are performed through full kinematic range (Hedrick, 2000;Zakas 2005. However, while dynamic stretching is considered to be beneficial for flexibility, its acute effect on ballistic sports performance, such as sprints and vertical jumps is not well determined.…”

The aim of the present study was to compare the acute effect of static and dynamic stretching on countermovement jump (CMJ) and ten meters sprint performance for basketball players. Twenty semiprofessional basketball players, 23.4 ± 0.5 yo, height 185.6 ± 2.8 cm, body mass 84.8 ± 6.2 kg, training age 10.4 ± 2.5 yr, performed a static (SS) and a dynamic (DS) stretching protocol in two different days, a week apart. Participants were randomly assigned to each protocol. Each session included: a) 10 min general basketball warm-up, b) initial evaluation of sprint and CMJ performance, c) five minutes static or dynamic stretching for the lower limbs, according to the protocol, and d) final evaluation of sprint and CMJ. The Photocells Powertimer 300 -PC Upgrade Kit and the jump mat (both from Newtest Powertimers, Oulu, Finland), were used for evaluating CMJ and sprint performance. Countermovement jumps with maximum effort were performed one minute after the intervention, with 30s recovery in between. Then athletes were asked to run 10 m with maximum speed. Athletes achieved better performance in both CMJ height and sprint time, with the DS protocol compared to the SS protocol. In conclusion, in sports of high strength and power demands, such as basketball, the use of dynamic stretching is preferable for its immediate effect on jumping and sprint performance.
