Background: Practicing yoga could improve balance and flexibility, but its positive significance as a long-term warm-up for formal training was uncertain. We hypothesized that practicing yoga during warm-up might positively affect balance, flexibility, and speed performance in male high school track and field athletes. Methods: Over a 12-week period, athletes in a yoga group (YG) (n=10) practiced yoga for 15 min 4 times a week during warm-up, while athletes in a dynamic stretching group (DSG) (n=10) practiced 15 min of dynamic stretching. Except for the warm-up activities, the training content of the two groups of students was the same. we tested performance indicators immediately before and after the intervention, including lower extremity flexibility test (right hip active flexion range), lower extremity balance test [using surface electromyography (sEMG) to measure right leg tibialis anterior (TA) activation during one-leg stance (OLS) with eyes closed], and speed performance test (100-meter and 800-meter tests). Results: We performed between-group and within-group comparisons for indicators of two groups by using SPSS (version 26.0). Within-group comparisons showed a significant improvement in flexibility (P=0.002) and balance (P=0.003) in YG, but no significant change in DSG, after the 12-week intervention. In addition, speed performance of both YG (100m, P=0.026; 800m, P=0.045) and DSG (100m, P=0.029; 800m, P=0.006) was significantly improved. Between-group comparison showed that YG had a significant advantage in 800m (P=0.045) and flexibility (P=0.031). Conclusions: These data suggested that practicing yoga as a long-term warm-up could help male high school track and field athletes improve lower body flexibility and 800m speed. In addition, yoga had a certain positive effect on balance, but it was not significant overall.

Introduction Dynamic stretching is a particular form of training. Currently, there is little research in academia about dynamic stretching in sports dancing. Objective Explore the role of functional dynamic stretching training in dance sports. Methods 60 sports dancers with a history of ankle injuries were randomly divided into a control and experimental group. All performed a training protocol twice a week, lasting 45 minutes, for eight weeks. A functional dynamic stretching training session was added to the control group. The effects were evaluated by the Cumberland scale, bilateral stability comparison, and balance control by the Perkin system. Data were statistically treated for analysis. Results There was no significant difference between the scores of healthy ankle joints and injured ankle joints in the two groups (P>0.05). After eight weeks of functional dynamic stretching training, there was a significant difference between the experimental and control groups on injured ankle joints (P<0.05). Conclusion Dynamic stretching training can effectively improve ankle joint stability in sports dancers. Concomitantly, this method effectively prevents injuries to the athlete’s ankle joint. Evidence level II; Therapeutic Studies - Investigating the results.

Flexibility is one of the physical capacities associated with improved performance in jazz dancers girls. However, jazz training being a complex physical activity is not only based on flexibility training, it also focuses on the development of motor skills, technique, posture, and rhythm. Therefore, it is important to demonstrate whether a passive stretching training, with minimum frequency, generates favorable results on flexibility. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of flexibility training on active and passive range of motion (ROM), as well as joint mobility in girls jazz dancers by chronological caracterizar la muestra age group. 30 jazz dancers with an average age of 8.5 ± 1.6 years with no more than four years practicing professional sports practice, enrolled in an integrative flexibility training program developed once a week for 12 weeks, and were assessed for active and passive hip joint mobility through goniometry in conjunction with six flexibility tests. There was an increase in all flexibility variables with a moderate size-effect, except for the joint ROM in active and passive left abduction and active right flexion, which had a high effect. In conclusion, training focused on static exercises can be considered an effective strategy to develop ROM, because it's possible to increase flexibility and stretch in lower extremities with a frequency of once a week in jazz dancing girls.
