AbstractThe purpose of this research is to compare the static and dynamic stretching on
hamstring flexibility among contact sports athletes. Twenty-six UPSI contact sports
athletes age from 19 to 25 years old, while their BMI’s ranges from 17 to 30 were
randomly allocated to Static Stretching (SS) (n=13) and Dynamic Stretching (DS)
(n=13) groups. The subjects undergone pre-test and post-test of Active Knee Extension
Test (AKE) using universal goniometer to measure their hamstring flexibility. They
will follow the designed stretching protocol according to their groups accompanied
with aerobic running for 3 times per week for total of 4 weeks stretching program. The
data were analyzed by Paired and Independent T-test. Paired T-test result shown that
there was a significant improvement in the knee angle between the pre-test and posttest
in both SS (t =-10.823, p=0.00l;left leg and t =-9.870, p=0.001;right leg) and DS
(t=-0.144, p=0.887;left leg and t=-0.463, p=0.647;right leg) in ham.....
