Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stretching is a fundamentally important part of sport and exercise, playing a role in improving performance, and preventing injury and rehabilitation, but its scientific underpinnings have, to this point, been overlooked in book publishing. The Science and Physiology of Flexibility and Stretching is the most up-to-date and comprehensive book to cover the underlying physiology and psychology of stretching, critically assessing why, when, and how we should stretch, as well as offering a highly illustrated, practical guide to stretching exercises. Placing stretching in the context of both health and performance, the first section of the book sets out the science behind stretching, critically assessing the benefits, disadvantages, and roles of different types of stretching, exploring the mechanisms behind increasing range-of-movement through stretching and other methods, and offering evidence-based guidance on building stretching into warm-ups. In its second section, the book provides a step-by-step guide to static, dynamic, and PRF stretching exercises for beginners, through recreational athletes, to elite performers. Richly illustrated, and including an online resource, The Science and Physiology of Flexibility and Stretching provides an important scientific enquiry into stretching, and an invaluable reference for any strength and conditioning coach or student, personal trainer, sports coach, or exercise scientist.

Download or read book The Effect of Static Dynamic and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation Stretching on Lower Body Power written by Shaun Edward Weaver and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Many different types of stretching are used before activities to ready muscles for movement. Each different type of stretching affects a person's muscle differently. This study compared the effects of static, dynamic, and PNF stretching on the lower body power of the subjects. The subjects in the study were thirty volunteer males ranging in age from 18-22 years. Each subject was randomly put into a group of ten and did each of the three stretching protocols and vertical jump tests on three nonconsecutive days. The vertical jumps were measured on the Vertec vertical jump system (Sports Imports, Hilliard, OH. A 3x4 ANOVA was used to compare the stretches between each other as well as pre and post vertical jump tests. The results of this study support there was a significant main effect of time on lower body power F(3, 87)=63.08, p=.000. There was no significant interaction between time and treatment (static, dynamic, or PNF) stretching, F(2, 58)=.887, p=.417 or no significant main effect for treatment on lower body power F(6, 174)=1.766, p=.109. A warm up improved vertical jump performance with the mean of the cold vertical jump (M=24.256 in.) being significantly lower than the mean of the warm vertical jump (M=25.333 in.). Although a warm-up followed by stretching, negatively affected vertical jump performance with the mean of the post stretch vertical jump (M=24.928 in) being significantly higher than the mean of the 15 minute post stretch vertical jump (M=24.156 in) and the cold vertical jump (M=24.256 in.)"--Abstract.

This book was released on 2012-12-10 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical fitness affects our ability to function and be active. At poor levels, it is associated with such health outcomes as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Physical fitness testing in American youth was established on a large scale in the 1950s with an early focus on performance-related fitness that gradually gave way to an emphasis on health-related fitness. Using appropriately selected measures to collected fitness data in youth will advance our understanding of how fitness among youth translates into better health. In Fitness Measures and Health Outcomes in Youth, the IOM assesses the relationship between youth fitness test items and health outcomes, recommends the best fitness test items, provides guidance for interpreting fitness scores, and provides an agenda for needed research. The report concludes that selected cardiorespiratory endurance, musculoskeletal fitness, and body composition measures should be in fitness surveys and in schools. Collecting fitness data nationally and in schools helps with setting and achieving fitness goals and priorities for public health at an individual and national level.

Download or read book Effects of Dynamic PNF Stretching on Power Endurance Athletes written by Manharleen Kaur and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2014-06-13 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the effects of Dynamic and PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) stretching on various performance variables like aerobic capacity, anaerobic power, peak speed, agility, vertical jump performance, balance, flexibility and muscular endurance of endurance and power athletes. This book will be helpful in preparing or modifying the existing training schedules for power and endurance athletes. The data regarding effects of different types of stretching on performance variables will help the coaches and sports physicians to regulate the training programme for elite athletes according to the type of sports they are participating in. It throws light on the daily warm up routine which can help to gain optimal performance needed during sports competitions. The athletes participating in trianthlon may be at benefit by increasing their speed and aerobic capacity and the athletes participating in power activities like weight lifting, power lifting will be benefitted by increasing their anaerobic power and muscular endurance by using correct stretching technique. This book will contribute to the better performance of athletes.

This book was released on 2013-06-04 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject Medicine - Neurology, Psychiatry, Addiction, grade: B, University of New Orleans, language: English, abstract: Introduction. Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation refers to a method of hastening or promoting neuromuscular functioning mechanisms by stimulating its proprioceptors. This method of treatment is functions on the belief that all individuals including those with disabilities have varied existing potentials. Various motion combinations are used to facilitate neuromuscular mechanism. These include primitive, postural and righting reflexes. The motion combinations employed include passive movements, eccentric, isometric and concentric contractions (Alter 2004). One of the philosophies regulating the Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation is mobilizing individuals’ potentials through the provision of intensive training, patients’ active participation in planning and provision of care, and promotion of self-training. Furthermore, the health care professionals should promote positive approach including provision of care free of pain, provision of direct and indirect treatment among others (Hoeger et al 2008). However, PNF techniques functions on several principles including, resistance, inhibition, facilitation, and irradiation reflexes. Facilitation techniques increase motor neurons excitation increasing stimuli within the neuromuscular neurons which cause depolarization or recruitment of extra motor neurons. Furthermore, inhibitory techniques decrease the excitation of the motor neurons leading to hyperpolarization of these neurons hence decrease in the amount of neurons which are actively discharging. Inhibition and facilitation cannot be separated because they work synergistically to one another. Inhibitory techniques increases flexibility through the inhibition of motor neurons of the antagonists muscles hence relaxation and reduced active resistance to the agonists muscle movement (Alter 2004). Furthermore, facilitation and inhibitory techniques creates muscular resistance characterized by active contractions. Irradiation reflexes increases spread of neuromuscular excitations throughout the central nervous system causing contractions in the synergistic muscles. In addition, stretch reflexes increase the effectiveness of these techniques by producing varied excitation in the motor neurons causing relaxation of the muscles under different conditions. Furthermore, PNF techniques employ the techniques of active contractions (Hoeger et al 2008).
