Sumario:The purpose of the present review was to examine the effects of Physical Education-based stretching programs on hamstring extensibility in high school students. Re-levant studies were searched from 10 databases. The results suggested that students should performed stret-ching programs at least for a duration of 5-6 weeks, a frequency of twice a week, and a volume per session of 30-60 s (20-30 s per set)to obtain improvements on the hamstring extensibility. Stretching programs with higher duration, frequency and volume seems to obtain greater effects. Although the most studies obtained fle-xibility improvements using static techniques, dynamic stretching exercises performed in a controlled manner also produced improvements and they were safety. Af-ter a four-week detraining period, students reverted back to their baseline levels. Teachers should implement stretching programs to improve the students’ flexibility during the Physical Education classe
