Abstract
Introduction.
The aim of this study is the effect of PNF stretching in the hamstring
muscles on the speed sprinter young. Material and Method.
Sixteen healthy young male volunteers were tested between the ages of
14-19, training (TRN, n=8) and control (CTL, n=8). Two separate speed
testing days were scheduled 5 days apart. All 16 subjects were timed
individually during two, 20-yard dash sprints on day 1 and on day 5. A
confidence interval of (P≤05) was established a prior for the
independent Student t-test in order to determine significant
statistical difference. Results and conclusion. Results showed that
experimental group improved speed after PNF stretching. PNF stretching
training program may improve the speed and can be used with other
training programs.
