Abstract
Introduction: Static stretching and ballistic stretching are two different types of stretches that can be done before or after a workout to increase your flexibility and strength. Pulling a section of the body to lengthen the muscle and maintaining it in that posture for a certain period of time, generally 10-30 seconds, are the two steps involved in this exercise. College students were recruited for the research to examine the effects of a ballistic and static stretching exercise on hamstring and quadriceps maximum strength.
Materials & Methods: 60 people participated in the research. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, participants were screened. A signed permission form was obtained from each participant before to the trial, which ensured that all individuals had been given a thorough description of the study's objective, risks, and benefits. There were two separate divisions. Static stretching will be performed by Group A, while ballistic stretching will be performed by Group B. The subject’s pretest was done using 1 RM squat. Both the groups underwent Stretching for 4 weeks. Post data was also collated using 1 RM squat test.
Results: The result of the study of college students’ subjects has shown significant changes in the 1 RM scores as for Group A at 0 Day score was 30.62±1.54 which after the session of stretching changes in at 14th days the result was 35.12 and the after the session of stretching at 28th days the result was 41.50 ±1.011. Group B at 0 days score shows the scores as 31.01±1.02 and scores after the stretching at 14th day the result shows 37.56±1.92 and the after the stretching session at 28th days the result shows as 43.32±1.92 the with P value P<0.05. By calculating the mean difference, we can say that there is a significantly Higher effects in Group B as compared with group A.
Conclusion: According to the findings of the research, we discovered that there were effects noticed in both groups, however the Group B (Ballistic stretching) showed much larger effects when compared to the Static Stretching group. Additional research is required on the subject of the general population.
