Relationship between types of stretching and jumping in volleyball

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effect of two stretching programs,one dynamic and one static, on the jumping ability of volleyball players. The champion is made up of 30 volleyball players.The participants were randomly divided into three groups: the first group performed dynamic stretching exercises three times a week, the second static stretching and the third is the control group, refraining from any kind of stretching. The duration of the research protocol was 6 weeks.All groups performed the seargent jump test before the start of the protocol and at the end.The results analyzed showed that there is a significant differential increase after dynamic stretching vs. static stretching. It was concluded that static stretching under a warm-up can decrease the performance of the jumping capacity, while dynamic stretching seems to increase the performance of the jump.
