- Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study was to verify the flexibility behavior of young adult men after 16 training weeks of a unique ten seconds repetition of the static method for the flexibility development. Materials and Methods: It took part in the experiment 59 male subjects divided in two groups: one controlled group (CG) which was not under any kind of training, formed by 18 individuals (23.5 ± 3.6 years old) and another group named study group (SG) formed by 41 individuals (23.8 ± 3.6 years old), which was submitted to 16 weeks static flexing, tree times a week, with a ten seconds steady repetition, in the following movements: horizontal extension of the shoulder (HES), abduction of the shoulder (AS) and flexing of the hip (FH). The flexibility was taken through a 16 inches Lafayette goniometer (USA) and 360 degrees, taking into consideration the LABIFIE goniometric protocol. It was used the Shapiro-Wilk test to verify the sample normality and the test t (student) measured as a means of comparison of the data. Results: It was found significant differences for p<0.05, in the HES (Δ = 4.41 ; p = 0.02), AS (Δ =7.31 ; p = 0.00) and FH (Δ = 7.41 ; p = 0.00). Conclusion: Then it can be concluded that the proposed method was enough to produce a significant amplitude raise in the movement of the shoulders articulation as well as in the articulation of the hip. Consequently, it can be indicated for sedentary individuals and beginners of physical activity programs.
