The acute effect of static and dynamic stretching exercises on sprint in amateur soccer players
Abstract
The aim of the present study was to examine the acute effect of static and dynamic stretching during warm-up on sprint in amateur soccer players. Sixteen amateur players age 21,4±3,2 years, height 176±4cm and body weight 71,44±6,08 kg participated in the study. All participants performed, in random order, two experimental protocols on different days one week apart. The first protocol included 8 minutes general warm-up and 3 minutes total static stretching, while the second protocol included 8 minutes general warm-up and 3 minutes total dynamic stretching in the same muscles. The duration of the stretches in each muscle were 10 seconds each, due to the trend of the soccer players to execute short duration stretches. After the end of general warm-up, the participants performed 20m. sprint test, which they repeated after the end of the stretching protocols. Two way repeated measures (ANOVA) was used for statistical analysis and the level of significance was set at p<0.05. The results of this research showed deterioration of the sprint time (p<0.032) after static stretching, but no significant difference after dynamic stretching. From the results concluded that the dynamic stretching, with the way that they were executed, does not seem to affect positively or negatively the sprint time in amateur soccer players, in contrast with static stretching that they affect negatively.References
