简要总结
Background: Basketball is considered a medium-high injury sport, because of the mechanisms of injury, which can be acute, by repetition mechanisms or by overload. An effective way to avoid muscle overload injuries is to perform an extensibility workout such as an analytical active stretching program. The objective of this study is to achieve adherence to a stretching program by motivating young basketball players.
Methods: Randomized experimental clinical trial controlled by a single blind person. 21 child players between 11 and 12 years, divided into intervention group (IG) and control group (CG). IG carries out a supervised static stretching program at the end of training 3 days/week for 12 weeks and CG has normally developed the standard stretches of their Basketball Club. The extensibility of various muscle groups was valued in both groups. In addition, motivation was valued by Sport Motivation Scale.
详细描述
The inclusion criteria were: to be between 12 and 13 years of age (both included), to be an active player at the time of selection, to sign the informed consent form and failure to meet the exclusion criteria. The exclusion criteria were: to have an injury at the time of selection and psychological and/or psychiatric illnesses. The main outcomes were: the adherence to a stretching program (monitoring calendars), the extensibility of the posterior musculature (fingertip-to-floor test), the adductor extensibility (sideways leg splits test), the gastrocnemius and soleus extensibility (weight-bearing lunge test through the Leg Motion system), the hamstring extensibility (goniometer with the passive straight leg raise and it was considerated shortening if it doesn't reach >80 degrees of elevation, the extensibility of the quadriceps (Ely test by a goniometer), the extensibility of the psoas (modified Thomas test using a goniometer).

研究组 & 干预措施
Experimental group
The experimental group received a lecture session explaining what stretching is, its advantages and the importance of stretching in injury prevention. The specific intervention programme was to be performed at least 3 days/week (after training) for 12 weeks. These were static, active stretches of the muscles of the lower back, psoas iliacus, quadriceps, adductors, gluteus, hamstrings, and sural triceps. For each muscle group, the stretch was held for 60 seconds, divided into 3 repetitions of 20 seconds. Between each repetition, we did not return to the initial position but sought a new barrier to the stretch which would provoke the sensations described above. The total time dedicated to stretching was approximately 15 minutes per session.
干预措施: Stretching program (Procedure)
Control group
The control group performed the initial and final assessments and continued to perform their team's standard/habitual stretches. To record whether they performed the stretches prescribed by the club, the researchers went to the end of the training unknown sessions and recorded whether the players performed them or not.
结局指标
主要结局
Adherence to the programme (percentage)
时间窗: 1 year
This was assessed by means of monitoring calendars. The purpose of these was for the athletes to place blue stickers on the days they did the stretches and red stickers on the days they did not do them, thus giving them visual biofeedback of their involvement with the stretches. Each calendar was valid for six weeks, so one was given out on the first week and the second one in the middle of the study, on the sixth week.
Gastrocnemius and soleus extensibility (centimeters)
时间窗: 1 year
The Leg Motion System was used.
Extensibility of the quadriceps (degrees)
时间窗: 1 year
This was measured with the Ely Test
Extensibility of the posterior musculature (centimeters)
时间窗: 1 year
This was measured with the "Fingertip-to-Floor Test"
Hamstring extensibility (degrees)
时间窗: 1 year
The Passive Straight Leg Raise test was used, assessed qualitatively and quantitatively.
Motivation
时间窗: 1 year
It was assessed using the Sport Motivation Scale, validated in Spanish. This scale allows an objective assessment of the intrinsic, extrinsic and non-motivational factors of why children participate in their sport. In addition, the researchers added two questions related to motivation and stretching, to check whether the participants had correctly understood the importance of stretching.
Adductor extensibility (centimeters)
时间窗: 1 year
It was measured with the Sideways Leg Splits test
Extensibility of the psoas (degrees)
时间窗: 1 year
The Modified Thomas test was used, assessing the psoas qualitatively and quantitatively as well as indirectly the rectus femoris, the tensor fascia lata and the abductors.
