Comparison of the Immediate Effects of Lower Extremity Static Stretching Exercises on Vertical Jump

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Stretch
• Interventions: Other: Static streching exercise

• Registration Number: NCT06530407
• Lead Sponsor: Halic University

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to compare the immediate effects of lower extremity static stretching exercises on vertical jump in sedentary individuals based on gender.

Detailed Description

The study was conducted on 10 female (Group 1) and 10 male (Group 2) university students. The vertical jump height (VJH) of the individuals who agreed to participate in the study was measured with a wireless jumping platform. After the initial evaluations, lower extremity static stretching exercises targeting the M. Gastrocnemious and M. Hamstring muscles were applied to the participants in both groups. The VJH of the participants was re-evaluated immediately after the application. Both pre-post evaluations and female-male comparison evaluations will be performed for the statistical analysis of the data.Statistical analysis will be performed with SPSS 24.0 program. If the data is parametric, paired sample t-test will be used for within-group evaluation; independent sample t-test will be used for between-group evaluation. If the data is non-parametric, Wilson test will be used for within-group evaluation and Mann Whitney U test will be used for between-group evaluation.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Group 1	Static streching exercise	10 sedentary women
Group 2	Static streching exercise	10 sedentary men

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Vertical jump height	at baseline and immediately after the lower extremity static stretching exercise program	DSY was measured with a wireless jumping platform (Ezejump, Australia). Participants were subjected to three squat jump tests on this platform with free intervals between repetitions and the maximum value obtained from the test was recorded as the vertical jump height.
