“…Two studies, measured the ROM variations of the hamstrings through the passive knee extension test. This test consisted of laying the participants in a supine position, with the contralateral leg firmly held, and the opposite hip moved at 90 ° of hip flexion [21,39]. An inclinometer was positioned on the tibial crest at the distal end of the tibial tuberosity.…”

The Relation Between Stretching Typology and Stretching Duration: The Effects on Range of Motion

et al. 2018

Different stretching strategies and protocols are widely used to improve flexibility or maintain health, acting on the muscle tendon-unit, in order to improve the range of motion (ROM) of the joints. This review aims to evaluate the current body of literature in order to understand the relation between stretching typology and ROM, and secondly to evaluate if a relation exists between stretching volume (either as a single training session, weekly training and weekly frequency) and ROM, after long-term stretching. Twenty-three articles were considered eligible and included in the quantitative synthesis. All stretching typologies showed ROM improvements over a long-term period, however the static protocols showed significant gains (p<0.05) when compared to the ballistic or PNF protocols. Time spent stretching per week seems fundamental to elicit range of movement improvements when stretches are applied for at least or more than 5 min, whereas the time spent stretching within a single session does not seem to have significant effects for ROM gains. Weekly frequency is positively associated to ROM. Evaluated data indicates that performing stretching at least 5 days a week for at least 5 min per week using static stretching may be beneficial to promote ROM improvements.

“…The study by Cipriani et al 26 , conducted with young men and women, found that performing two sets of 30 seconds, and 6 sets of 10 seconds, is equally effective in gaining ROM. And the study by Johnson et al, 27 found that realize 9 sets of 10 seconds or 3 sets of 30 seconds, 6 days a week for 6 weeks, is equally effective in gaining ROM. These results show that a larger number of series is not effective to obtain gain of ROM if the residence time is short.…”

Rev Bras Educ Fís Esporte, (São Paulo) 2017 Abr-Jun; 31(2):385-91 • 385Effects of stretch on hamstring flexibility in young women IntroductionEffects of number of stretch series on hamstring muscle flexibility in young women AbstractThe aim of this study was to look at the influence of five different sets of passive stretching on hamstring muscle flexibility in young women. The sample consisted of 45 university students of physiotherapy. The range of motion of the hip and the knee was evaluated with a manual goniometer, using two tests: Straight Leg Raise test and Knee Extension modified test, before and after stretching. The stretching was performed once a week, with different numbers of series: one, two, three, four and five 30-second sets, the order established by lot. The data relating to pre and post-test were compared using the t test for paired samples. One-Way ANOVA was used for comparison between the number of runs; in the presence of post-hoc differences Bonferroni was used (α = 0.05). The results demonstrate that the post-test had a significant increase in range of motion compared to the pre all tests. Comparing the series showed a marked increase in range of motion of the hip when there were three, four and five series of stretching in the Straight Leg Raise test and in four and five series in the Knee Extension modified test. The data show that the stretching exercises, regardless of the number of series, increase joint range of motion. However, the application of the four for range of motion gains because the results are better.

| Abstract |1 )PURPOSE: Flexibility and range of motion are very important factors in sports performance, rehabilitation, and musculoskeletal pain. The purpose of this study was to measure the effects of cupping therapy on flexibility, muscle activity, and pain threshold of hamstring muscle compared to passive stretching in healthy subjects. METHODS:Thirty healthy subjects were randomly assigned in a crossover design to cupping therapy and passive stretching. Subjects were tested to compare their effects according to the intervention such as Passive range of motion (PROM) (straight leg raising) and active range of motion (AROM). And algometer (pain) testing and MVC assessment using EMG were performed as dependent variables.
