Effect of static and ballistic stretching on the muscle-tendon tissue properties.

摘要: Purpose: Many studies have been undertaken to define the effects of static and ballistic stretching. However, most researchers focused their attention on joint range-of-motion measures. The objective present study was investigate whether static- ballistic-stretching programs had different passive resistive torque measured during isokinetic motion ankle tendon stiffness by ultrasound imaging. Methods: Eighty-one healthy subjects were randomized into three groups: a static-stretch group, ballistic-stretch control group. Both stretching groups performed 6-wk program for calf muscles. Before after this period, all evaluated range motion, plantar flexors, Achilles tendon. Results: results reveal that dorsiflexion increased significantly in groups. Static resulted significant decrease torque, but there no change stiffness. In contrast, effect flexors. observed Conclusion: These findings provide evidence stiffness, both types should be considered training rehabilitation programs.
