Efeito agudo de diferentes métodos de alongamento em crianças dançarinas clássicas

Abstract

Introduction: Dancers use to do stretching exercises to increase flexibility in the preparation and completion of training and activities. The purpose of the present study was to compare two methods of passive stretching of hip flexion in classical dancer children. Methods: Twenty-one female’s children were recruited for the study, and each participant visited the laboratory on two occasions during three-days at least twenty-four hours between visits. A randomized within-subject design used to investigate the effects of three conditions: control (CG), static stretching (SS), and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) applied to the posterior thigh, unilaterally, on passive hip flexion (HF) with 60-seconds. Results: There were no statistical differences for CG (F = 0.716; p = 0.552), SS (F = 0.536; p = 0.662) and PNF (F = 1.713; p = 0.191). Conclusion: The results found in the present study indicate that different stretching methods can promote increases in HF and PROM without difference between methods.Keywords: flexibility, dancing, youngster.

Efeito do alongamento estático pré-exercício pliométrico sobre marcadores indiretos de danos musculares

“…Different stretching methods can be used in order to prepare the muscles for physical exercise, such as static, dynamic stretching and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation [4,5]; moreover, the first two methods can be performed either actively or passively [6,7]. Static stretching is highlighted mainly because it is easy to perform and is usually part of the preparation strategies for physical exercise [7].…”
