Abstract

Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the efficacy of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching in improving flexibility and functional reach of the lower extremity using Y-balance test (YBT) among amateur badminton players. Methods: Thirty male students (age 20 ± 1.8 years, height 162 ± 8.2 cm, weight 51 ± 9.2 kg, body mass index 20 ± 3.9 kg/m2) from Teerthanker Mahaveer University having hamstring tightness and without any musculoskeletal disorders formed the sample of this study. Subject's age, height, and weight were recorded. Informed consent was taken from all the subjects. The subjects were randomly assigned into two groups each consisting of 15 subjects. Hamstring flexibility for each group was measured using YBT. Subjects of the experiment group were treated with PNF stretching; stretch was performed three times a week for a total training period of 4 weeks. However, the subjects of control group were not subjected to any type of stretching. Results: The study results revealed a significant improvement in PNF stretching protocol compared to the control group. The findings of the study provide beneficial evidence that PNF stretching significantly improves flexibility and YBT performance among amateur badminton players. Conclusion: The study concludes that 4 weeks of PNF training in amateur badminton players has favorable changes in their functional reach, i.e., hamstring muscle when compared from pretest.
用y -平衡试验观察本体感觉神经肌肉易化拉伸对下肢功能伸展的影响
目的:采用y -平衡测试(YBT),探讨本体感觉神经肌肉促进(PNF)拉伸对业余羽毛球运动员下肢柔韧性和功能伸展的影响。方法:30名来自美国Teerthanker Mahaveer大学的男学生,年龄20±1.8岁,身高162±8.2 cm,体重51±9.2 kg,体重指数20±3.9 kg/m2,腿筋紧,无任何肌肉骨骼疾病。记录受试者的年龄、身高和体重。所有受试者都获得了知情同意书。受试者被随机分为两组,每组15人。使用YBT测量各组腘绳肌柔韧性。实验组采用PNF拉伸治疗;拉伸每周进行三次,总训练期为4周。而对照组受试者不做任何形式的拉伸。结果:研究结果显示,与对照组相比,PNF拉伸方案有显著改善。本研究结果提供了有益的证据,证明PNF拉伸可以显著提高业余羽毛球运动员的柔韧性和YBT成绩。结论:经过4周的PNF训练,业余羽毛球运动员的腿筋肌肉的功能范围与前测相比有良好的变化。
