Effect of Active Stretching on Hip Flexion Range of Motion in Female Professional Futsal Players
The purpose of this study was to determine the hamstring flexibility progression through hip flexion range of motion (ROM) before (hip flexion baseline, lasting 6 weeks), during (effect of stretching program, lasting 8 weeks) and after (flexibility retention, lasting 4 weeks) an 8-week active stretc...

| Sumario: | The purpose of this study was to determine the hamstring flexibility progression through hip flexion range of motion (ROM) before (hip flexion baseline, lasting 6 weeks), during (effect of stretching program, lasting 8 weeks) and after (flexibility retention, lasting 4 weeks) an 8-week active stretching program in female professional futsal players. Material and method: 10 young adult professional female futsal players completed this study. An uninterrupted, longitudinal, through the time, repeated-measures design was used. All futsal players performed an 8-week active stretching program. The unilateral passive straight leg raise test was used to assess hip flexion ROM at 0, 2, 4, and 6 weeks before the stretching program, at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks during the stretching program and at 2 and 4 weeks after the stretching program. Results and conclusions: the analysis of the initial phase revealed that baseline hip flexion ROM had an irregular tendency with positive and negative peak hamstring flexibility. An 8-week active stretching program improved hip flexion ROM 25.96±8.76%. Four weeks after the stretching program ended, hip flexion ROM retention showed a significant decrease of 7.9% |
