Eighteen male subjects (Age 20.3±1.4 years; height 183.7±5.5 cm; mass 78.4±6.2 kg) were matched for event and completed both the static stretching and the no stretching (rest) conditions in counter-balanced order across two days of testing. On each day, all subjects first completed a generalized dynamic warm-up routine that included a self-paced 800 meter run, followed by a series of dynamic movements, along with sprint and hurdle drills. At the end of this generalized warm-up, athletes were assigned to either a static stretching or a no stretching (rest) condition. They, then, immediately performed two 100 meter trials with timing gates set up at 20, 40, 60 and 100 meters. Results revealed a significant difference in performance between the rest and static stretching conditions (p<0.039) in the second 20 (20-40) meters of the sprint trials. The new finding from this study is that static stretching exhibits no additional inhibition on performance following the first 40 meters of a 100 meter sprint. 2009-07-20 English text Miami University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1247849681 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1247849681 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
