Abstract
The Effect of Static Stretching in Agility and Isokinetic Force at Football Players
Highlights
Football is a sport that is characterized by numerous and varied complex dynamic kinesiology activities that are characterized by a large number of cyclic and acyclic movements (Bjelica, Popović, & Petković, 2013; Gardasevic, Bjelica & Vasiljevic, 2016)
In order to carry out this research, first of all the whole sample has carried out the medical check up at the medical sport centre in Prishtina and it has been proved that all the football players are healthy to participate in football, and in accordance with the Helsinki decleration, all the participants have been informed with the aim of the testing procedures and the experimental treatment
In this research it has been proved that the static stretching exercises applied 3 times a week during the cooling down period, in a duration of 16 weeks did not have any important statistical effect in the testing of the agility and isokinetic force at the football players U17
Summary
Football is a sport that is characterized by numerous and varied complex dynamic kinesiology activities that are characterized by a large number of cyclic and acyclic movements (Bjelica, Popović, & Petković, 2013; Gardasevic, Bjelica & Vasiljevic, 2016). Agility in the football game is a form of exercise where a person provides running to change direction with and without ball (Popovic et al, 2014), and Isokinetics is a form of exercise where a person provides a maximum muscle contraction against a resistance or lever arm, (isokinetic dynamometer) at a fixed speed through a given range of motion. This type of muscle action can be done either concentrically or eccentrically at the given joint. Static Stretch The technique of lengthening a muscle group by slowly moving a joint to its maximal range of motion and maintaining the position for a period of time (Guissard & Duchateau, 2004)
