Abstract
Background and Aim: Previous studies about the effect of static and dynamic stretching on forthcoming performance have been reported different results. In present study, it has been evaluated the effects of these two stretching on lower extremity muscular electrical activity using innovative nonlinear analysis methods. The purpose of present study was to examine nonlinear evaluation of local dynamic stability in lower extremity EMG after statics and dynamics stretching in active males during pedaling. Materials and Methods: Fifteen physical education and sport sciences male students voluntarily participated in this study. Subjects referred to the laboratory during two days, with 48 hours intervals between each sessions, and EMG data from six lower extremity muscles were collected from 30 pedaling cycle on the stationary cycle in situation of without stretching, and after 2, 5 and 10 minutes post stretching. Filtered EMG data were extracted for constructing time series and Lyapunov Exponent (LyE) calculation. Results: Results of repeated measure ANOVA showed significant reduction in selected muscles EMG LyE during 2, 5 and 10 min post dynamic stretching compare to static stretching and no stretching conditions (p≤0.05). Conclusion: Regarding results, probably it is better to use dynamic stretching versus static stretching in warm up programs before pedaling or rehabilitation on stationary cycle.
