Background:Hamstring muscles play an important role in functional activities and relaxation and most people around the world suffer from the shortened muscles. Different methods of repairing were suggested and there were disagreements with regard to determination of one technique with high efficiency. Objectives: This study aimed to introduce more effective method, either a static stretch or hold relax technique. Patients and Methods:In this study, 60 male students of Semnan University of Medical Sciences (age range, 18-25 years) who had shortened hamstring muscles were randomly categorized into three groups. One group was under test for hold relax and the other group was tested for static stretch during 4 weeks and three times a week. The third control group received no intervention. To assess these three groups, the motion range of knee extension was measured by a goniometer before and after the sessions. Results: Results of this study showed that both methods have a significant effect on increasing the motion range of knee (P < 0.001). But no significant difference was observed between the static stretch and hold-relax techniques regarding increasing the motion range of knee (P=0.246). Conclusions:The results of this study suggest that both techniques (static stretch and hold relax) have a significant effect on flexibility and increasing the motion range of knee. But neither is superior regarding their effect.

“…There are papers approaching the joint mobility manifestation in relation with different stretching techniques, but they are usually addressed to adult persons and performance athletes (Feland, Myrer, & Merrill, 2001;Schuback, Hooper, & Salisbury, 2004;Yuktasir & Kaya, 2009;Puentedura et al, 2011).…”

The role of physical education is to act in order to increase the manifestation of motor ability indices among pupils. For this reason, the development of joint mobility in young pupils has a particular importance, by its limiting effects on the adjustments and designation of the movement easiness characterizing the ability of an element to move. The purpose of this paper was to make a diagnosis of the range of motion for the main joints, which included measurements of mobility in the scapular-humeral, coxofemoral and talocrural joints, in primary school pupils from Middle School No. 192. To achieve the intended purpose, it was initiated a comparative study conducted between December 2014 and January 2015, during 14 lessons (according to school schedule and curriculum). The subjects were 80 pupils from 1 st to 4 th grades, participants in the physical education and sports lesson. It was created a group of schoolboys and also a group of schoolgirls for each grade of the primary education, in total 4 groups of 10 schoolboys each and 4 groups of 10 schoolgirls each. Results were obtained using tests for the mobility or flexibility assessment, according to Brian Mackenzie, and through the statistical method, we calculated the arithmetic mean. Analysis of the results provides objective information about the level of mobility development in the subjects tested throughout their evolution.
