Static Stretching of 30 seconds
Static stretching of the quadriceps and hamstrings for 30 seconds
Static Stretching
Static stretching of the quadriceps and hamstrings which was performed in the dominant limb, and held in a position where the participants referred discomfort:
* Quadriceps - participants were in the standing position, with one hand holding the back of a chair to maintain the balance, and were instructed to pull the ankle of the lower limb to be stretched, pressing the heel towards the buttocks and, at the same time, extending the thigh;
* Hamstrings - participants were also in the standing position, with the heel resting on a chair. They were then instructed to lean the body forward keeping the spine erect and the pelvis in anteversion, to obtain a stretch over the knee and hip.
