Brief Summary:
Hamstring muscle injuries are common in basketball and result in long periods of inactivity This study aims to compare two different stretching programs to assess their effects on hamstring flexibility and secondarily on jumping ability in young basketball players One program uses a special stretching technique called proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation PNF while the other uses the same stretching but adds electrical stimulation NMES
Detailed Description:
Hamstring strains are increasingly common in sports particularly in football and professional basketball where they are the fourth most frequent injury Stretching especially when combined with techniques like proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation PNF is a key method used to reduce the risk of these injuries PNF which involves alternating stretches with muscle contractions is widely regarded for improving muscle flexibility Recently stretching combined with neuromuscular electrical stimulation NMES has also shown promise for increasing flexibility A variant of PNF called contract-relax PNF crPNF has been proposed where NMES is applied during the contraction phase to further enhance flexibility gains However there are no studies on the short-term effects of crPNF and crPNF NMES in young male basketball players a group known for higher degrees of hamstring shortening
This study aims to compare the short-term effects of crPNF and crPNF NMES on hamstring flexibility in young male basketball players and assess whether one technique is superior to the other A secondary goal is to determine if either stretching protocol negatively impacts vertical jump ability an important skill in basketball
