Immediate Effects of Post-isometric Relaxation and Static Stretching on Quadriceps Muscle During Vertical Jump in Volley Ball and Basketball Players
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Muscle Energy Technique and Static Stretch for Healthy. Completed, enrolled 29 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
A randomized control trial study was conducted in Islamic International University Islamabad from 1st August 2017 to 31st January 2018 according to the set criteria. A total number of 29 athletes age between 18-35 and playing as part time/ domestic level included in this study. Data were divided into experimental group (n=15) and control group (n=14) by random sampling technique. Post isometric relaxation technique was used in experimental group and static stretching was given in control group. Baseline reading was taken before intervention and post intervention reading taken immediately after application of intervention. Data analyzed through SPSS 20.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
In experimental group, post-isometric relaxation technique has given to the athletes. The position of athlete was prone and the involved group of muscle was quadriceps. Firstly end range of the quadriceps muscle group assess and guide the athlete to put 20% of their maximum voluntary contraction and physiotherapist resist the athlete and isometric contraction of quadriceps remain for 6-10 seconds
Control group has treated with static stretching after the pre-assessment that includes three repetitions with duration of fifteen seconds with twenty second rest intervals on lower extremities
