Optimizing warm-up efficiency: Impact of repetitions in straight leg raises on hip and knee flexibility in individuals with and without hamstring tightness
Wootaek Lim
Abstract:BACKGROUND: Warm-up exercises are often recommended to enhance flexibility, reduce the risk of injury, and improve performance. However, the optimal number of warm-up repetitions remains unclear. Additionally, the previously suggested sit-and-reach test may not be suitable for efficiently stimulating the target muscles. OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the effects of a warm-up consisting of 15 straight leg raise (SLR) repetitions on hip and knee flexibility by comparing individuals with and without hamstring… Show more
