Effects of hamstrings fascicle length and physical performance changes after a single bout of dynamic stretching or neurodynamic gliding in healthy young and older adults
Phase 1
Completed
- Conditions
- -heathy young and oldfascicle length, physical fitness, older adults, dynamic stretching, neurodynamic gliding
- Registration Number
- TCTR20230228006
- Lead Sponsor
- the Burapha University Research and Development Fund
- Brief Summary
Stretching with DS or NG immediately increased flexibility, which appeared to be largely due to changes in stretch tolerance rather than an increase in fascicle length. Furthermore, age dependency in response to stretching exercise was not seen in the present study.
