Short-term Effects of Static Stretching on Hamstring Passive Stiffness in Young and Older Women.
Objectives: The objectives of this study were to assess the acute effects of static stretching on hamstring passive stiffness in young and older women. A secondary objective was to compare hamstring muscle size and quality measurements (cross-sectional area and echo intensity) between the two groups and to determine if these characteristics are related to passive stiffness at baseline.
Methods: Fifteen young (23±4 years) and 15 older (73±5 years) women underwent two randomized conditions that included a control treatment and an experimental treatment of four, 15-s static stretches of the hamstrings. Passive stiffness was calculated before (pre-test) and after (post-test) each treatment using a passive knee extension test. Ultrasound imaging was used to measure hamstring muscle cross-sectional area and echo intensity.
Results: Passive stiffness collapsed across group decreased from pre- to post-test for the stretching treatment (P=0.001) but not for the control (P=0.467). The older women had lower cross-sectional area (P=0.033) and greater baseline (pre-test) passive stiffness (P=0.042-0.049) and echo intensity (P=0.022) than the young women. Moreover, baseline passive stiffness was significantly related to echo intensity (r=0.430, P=0.018) but not cross-sectional area (r=-0.014, P=0.943).
Conclusion: An acute bout of static stretching decreased passive stiffness in both young and older women.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Musculoskeletal and Neuronal Interactions (JMNI) is an academic journal dealing with the pathophysiology and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. It is published quarterly (months of issue March, June, September, December). Its purpose is to publish original, peer-reviewed papers of research and clinical experience in all areas of the musculoskeletal system and its interactions with the nervous system, especially metabolic bone diseases, with particular emphasis on osteoporosis. Additionally, JMNI publishes the Abstracts from the biannual meetings of the International Society of Musculoskeletal and Neuronal Interactions, and hosts Abstracts of other meetings on topics related to the aims and scope of JMNI.
