Objetivo

El objetivo de este estudio fue investigar el efecto agudo del estiramiento estático pasivo (ESP) aplicado en los músculos flexores de la rodilla en el rendimiento del salto vertical (SV).

Material y métodos

El estudio consistió en 10 hombres y 10 mujeres voluntarios con experiencia previa en el entrenamiento de fuerza (EF). Los sujetos realizaron 2 protocolos: EF sin ESP (TRAD) y SV inmediatamente después del estiramiento (ESP).

Resultados

Hubo una diferencia significativa en el rendimiento del salto vertical ESP (53,6 ± 8,5 cm) en comparación con el TRAD (47,9 ± 13,1 cm) en el grupo femenino. En comparación con los hombres también hubo diferencias significativas en el ESP (58,4 ± 12,3) y el TRAD (51,4 ± 12,3) (p < 0,05).

Conclusiones

Este estudio sugiere que el estiramiento estático pasivo aplicado solo en los flexores de la rodilla puede mejorar el rendimiento durante el SV para los hombres y mujeres entrenados.

Objective

The purpose of this study was to investigate the acute effects of passive static stretching (PSS) applied on hamstring muscles on vertical jump height (VJ) performance.

Materials and methods

Ten men and 10 women with previous experience in resistance training were volunteers, and performed two protocols on non-consecutive days: traditional protocol (TRAD) including VJ without previous PSS, and a PSS protocol, with VJ immediately after stretching.

Results

Significant differences were observed in VJ performance with PSS (53.6 ± 8.5 cm) when compared to TRAD (47.9 ± 13.1 cm) for the women's group (p = 0.021). Significant differences were also observed in the men's group with PSS (58.4 ± 12.3) versus TRAD (51.4 ± 9.6) protocol (p = 0.001).

Conclusion

These results suggest that PSS applied only on hamstring muscles may have an acute effect on increasing the VJ performance for both men and women with previous experience in resistance training.
