Summary

The purpose of this study is analyze the effects of static stretching and active warm up, isolated and associated, in functional performance of the lower limbs in college volleyball athletes. Study hypothesis: H0: The stretching and / or warm up, alone or in combination, do not alter the functional performance of volleyball players. H1: The stretching and / or warm up, alone or in combination, alter the functional performance of volleyball players.

Detailed description

This is a cross-over study containing 11 volleyball athletes randomly divided into 5 groups: control (C), warming-up (gAQ), stretching (gAL), warming-up and stretching (gAQAL), stretching and warming-up (gALAQ). All subjects underwent the evaluation measures of functional performance that were conducted pre and post intervention.

Conditions

• Neuromuscular Manifestations

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Static Stretching	3 sets of 30-second self static hamstring stretch (IT), quadriceps (QD) and sural triceps (TS) of both lower limbs, with an interval of 30 seconds of rest between sets
OTHER	warm up	Warm-up for 10 minutes at 70-80% of maximum heart rate.
OTHER	static stretching + warm up	3 sets of 30-second self static hamstring stretch (IT), quadriceps (QD) and sural triceps (TS) of both lower limbs, with an interval of 30 seconds of rest between sets + Warm-up for 10 minutes at 70-80% of maximum heart rate.
OTHER	warm up+static stretching	Warm-up for 10 minutes at 70-80% of maximum heart rate + 3 sets of 30-second self static hamstring stretch (IT), quadriceps (QD) and sural triceps (TS) of both lower limbs, with an interval of 30 seconds of rest between sets
OTHER	Control	No intervention
