- Abstract
The hamstring muscle leads to postural imbalance, compensation and other disorders. Thus, studies about the effects of different techniques to improve the flexibility of these muscles are essential to clarify the real benefits of their use. The aim of this study was to investigate the acute effect of Neuromuscular Bandage, Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) and Static Stretching on hamstring muscle flexibility. The sample consisted of 80 men (23.37 ± 4.68 years) randomly divided into 4 groups: G1 (Neuromuscular Bandage, n = 20), G2 (PNF, n = 20), G3 (Static Stretching, n = 20) and G4 (Control Group, n = 20). The level of physical activity was assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). All the techniques presented positive results in the flexibility of the hamstring muscles. We suggest new studies analyzing chronic effects of stretching to confirm our results.
