Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The stretching is performed within sports to improve muscle performance and prevent muscle injury. However, recent studies are contradictory with common practice. Then raised the possibility that stretching before physical activity performed can decrease the muscle performance of healthy subjects.

Stretching

Participants were divided into 3 groups. The group was referred to stretching 3 weekly for 4 consecutive weeks. Group B went 4 weeks without any intervention and held only one stretch before the re-test. And the group C performed passive knee mobilization. All participants were assessed for goniometry of the knee in flexion and extension and peak torque and power on the isokinetic dynamometer.
