Student activity in the learning process in the classroom sits more. Sitting long could limit blood and incoming oxygen to the brain so which affects concentration. So, therefore stretching is needed. The purpose of this research was to prove the stretching effect on student learning concentration. The design of this research used a pretest-posttest-only control group design. The population in this research were all students of class II D3 nursing STIKES Bina Sehat PPNI Mojokerto as 79 respondents. The sample of this research were all students of class II D3 nursing STIKES Bina Sehat PPNI Mojokerto 39 respondents in the experimental group and 40 respondents in a control group, with a total sampling technique. The instrument used is a questionnaire for learning concentration with test results 100% valid and reliable with = 0.881. This research was at STIKES Bina Sehat PPNI Mojokerto in Januari 2022. Data analysis using Wilcoxon signed rank test to judge the difference before and after stretching. Mann Whitney test for assessing differences in the learning concentration of the control group and experiment group with a = 0.05. The research results show, in experimental groups 20 (51%) respondents had high learning concentration before stretching and 38 (97%) respondents after stretching. Statistical Wilcoxon sign rank test results ρ = 0.00 which means that there is a stretching effect on student learning concentration. Statistical Mann-Whitney test results ρ = 0.00 means that there are differences in learning concentration in the control and experimental groups. Stretching makes the blood vessels in the muscles experience vasodilation, this makes blood flow smoother so that the muscles will also move to pump blood and oxygen to the brain which can increase learning concentration.

“…Review Thieme to be determined in order to detect the minimum effective stretching dose [17] to promote cardiovascular responses, it is plausible that if stretching interventions are carried out over a discrete period of time, these could also lead to ongoing adaptations of the cardiovascular system. Several experiments performed in vitro confirm that longitudinal stretches of blood vessels cause adaptations to these structures by increasing their elastic properties and reducing stiffness [18].…”

“…Acute effects on heart rate and blood pressure [12], cardiovascular autonomic modulations [13], modifications in endothelial function and arterial stiffness [14,15] and both central and peripheral hemodynamic responses [16] seem to be present after stretching.

The aim of this study will be to review the current body of literature to understand the effects of stretching on the responses of the cardiovascular system. A literature search was performed using the following databases: Scopus, NLM Pubmed and ScienceDirect. Studies regarding the effects of stretching on responses of the cardiovascular system were investigated. Outcomes regarded heart rate(HR), blood pressure, pulse wave velocity (PWV of which baPWV for brachial-ankle and cfPWV for carotid-femoral waveforms), heart rate variability and endothelial vascular function. Subsequently, the effects of each outcome were quantitatively synthetized using meta-analytic synthesis with random-effect models. A total of 16 studies were considered eligible and included in the quantitative synthesis. Groups were also stratified according to cross-sectional or longitudinal stretching interventions. Quality assessment through the NHLBI tools observed a “fair-to-good” quality of the studies. The meta-analytic synthesis showed a significant effect of d=0.38 concerning HR, d=2.04 regarding baPWV and d=0.46 for cfPWV. Stretching significantly reduces arterial stiffness and HR. The qualitative description of the studies was also supported by the meta-analytic synthesis. No adverse effects were reported, after stretching, in patients affected by cardiovascular disease on blood pressure. There is a lack of studies regarding vascular adaptations to stretching.
