Abstract
Background and Objective: The importance of flexibility in all sports, and rehabilitation activities is undeniable as it can reduce the risk factors of injury. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the evaluation of a stretching program period with the American College of Sports Medicine Guideline and confusion on flexibility, muscle length, and isometric strength a short hamstring length in women.
Methods: This study was a semi-experimental design with a pre-test-post-test design. The statistical population consisted of 30 women with shortened hamstrings, inactive who visited medical centers in Tehran, were assigned to either an experimental group or a control group (15 individuals each) using non-probability sampling. Factors of length and flexibility were evaluated using the S.L.R test and strength from a dynamometer. Subsequently, the experimental group implemented their specific protocol for 6 weeks; the control group received no intervention. After 6 weeks of training, post-tests were conducted for strength, flexibility, and hamstring length. Statistical analysis was performed using a dependent t-test and t-test after data collection.
Results: Inter-group comparisons using an independent t-test showed that a period of combined stretching program with ACSM significantly affected flexibility, muscle length, and hamstring muscle strength in the intervention group of women compared to the control group (P ≤ 0.005).
Conclusion: The research results indicate that a period of stretching exercises combined with ACSM and confusion can be an effective and useful method for increasing flexibility, muscle length, and isometric strength in shortened hamstring muscles.
