Abstract:
Objective To explore the immediate,long-term,and delayed effects of spiral stabilizing muscle chain technique compared to static distraction and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation(PNF)stretching techniques on the flexibility of hip flexors.Methods Ninety subjects were randomly divided intothree groups of 30 each.Group 1 underwent the static stretching of the hip joint.Group 2 received PNF stretching,and Group 3 participated in SPS training.All participants were measured for hip extension angle to assess hip flexor flexibility before training,immediately after the first training session,at the end of 4 weeks of training,and 2 weeks after training cessation.Results Within-group comparisons showed significant increases in hip extension angles after one training session,after 4 weeks of training,and after 2 weeks of cessation compared to pre-training(P＜0.05).Between-group comparisons indicated no statistically significant differences in hip extension angle improvements among the three groups after one training session,after 4 weeks of training,and after 2 weeks of cessation(P＞0.05).Conclusion SPS training,static stretching,and PNF stretching all demonstrate good immediate,long-term,and delayed effects on improving hip extension angles,with consistent stretching outcomes.
