Static and dynamic stretching
Brief summary
This study will compare the short-term effects of static and dynamic stretching on the physical performance of undergraduate students who are not involved in athletic activities. It will be observed if a significant difference lies between these stretchings.
Detailed description
The individual participant will be assessed at baseline and then stretching will be performed after that. Group A will perform static stretching and group B will perform dynamic stretching. Immediate assessment will be done after 5 minutes, a second assessment will be done after 6 hours and a third one will be done after 24 hours to measure the short-term effects. After that, a gap of 3 days will be given and stretching will be performed again. Now, group A will perform dynamic stretching and group B will perform static stretching. A similar assessment will be repeated after 5 minutes then 6 hours and then after 24 hours to determine the difference.
Interventions
