The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of two proprioceptive neuromuscular
facilitation (PNF) stretching procedures on flexibility and muscular strength. Subjects were …

This study aimed to determine whether increases in flexibility following a single session
predict increases in flexibility after a short-term stretching training program involving static …

Context: Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) is commonly used before
competition to increase range of motion. It is not known how it changes muscle response to …

Muscle stretching is considered by many to play an integral role in the prevention and
rehabilitation of sports injuries and is used extensively in warm-up and conditioning …

This study was conducted in order to determine the effects of various types of warm-up on
performance of the slow-reversal-hold-relax modified Proprioceptive Neuromuscular …

The purpose of this study was to compare 2 methods of delivering the same proprioceptive
neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) flexibility exercise protocol: one manual and the other …

The effects of stretching techniques on the flexibility of the shoulder, trunk, and hamstring
muscles were compared in college men. Subjects were randomly assigned to one of 4 …

Two experiments are described which investigate whether results obtained in studies of
static flexibility transfer to dynamic flexibility. In Experiment 1, 24 female subjects were …
