Dynamic and Static Stretching on Postural Stability, Reaction Time and Countermovement Jump of Sprinters

March 18, 2015 updated by: Natalia Romero-Franco, Universidad Católica San Antonio de Murcia

Efectos de la Fatiga en el Rendimiento físico en el Ejercicio de Sentadillas

All the athletes should perform a warm-up consisting of five minutes of jogging and static stretching (Experimental Group 1) or dynamic stretching (Experimental Group 2). Before the beginning of the study and right after performing the stretching protocol, the investigators evaluated the unipedal postural stability, the acustic reaction time, the joint position sense of the knee and the countermovement jump of the athletes.
