| Scientific title | Dynamic stretching in the warm-up enhances both static and dynamic hamstring flexibility while static stretching only impacts static flexibility: a randomised controlled trial |
| Study hypothesis | 1. Static flexibility measurements will not correlate with dynamic hamstring flexibility measures 2. Static stretching exercises will only improve static flexibility and will have no impact on dynamic hamstring flexibility 3. Dynamic stretching exercises will improve dynamic flexibility and will have no impact on static flexibility 4. The intervention treatments will be gender dependent, i.e., females will achieve greater changes in hamstring flexibility following each of the stretching intervention |
| Ethics approval(s) | Committee for Ethics in Human Research approved from 8th December 2004 until 8th December 2006 (ref: CEHR 04-94) |
| Condition | Hamstring flexibility/hip flexion range of motion |
| Intervention | The final sample consisted of 12 students of which five females and seven males served as participants. Participants (n = 12) were randomly assigned to three intervention treatments of 225 seconds on separate days in a cross-over study design: Treatment 1: No stretching Treatment 2: Static stretching Treatment 3: Dynamic stretching Each participant presented for testing for a duration of approximately 15 minutes on a designated day - once every week for three weeks (three sessions in total). |
| Intervention type | Other |
| Primary outcome measure | Change in hamstring flexibility (hip ROM in degrees) after each intervention (Treatment 1, 2 , 3) from pre-test to post-test |
| Secondary outcome measures | No secondary outcome measures |
