This study examined the acute effects of static, dynamic, and no stretching on performance measures in female college club athletes. Seventy-five participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: static stretching, dynamic stretching, or no stretching. Participants completed pre-tests of long jump, vertical jump, shuttle run, and leg press. They then performed their assigned stretching protocol before repeating the performance tests. Results were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and ANOVA to determine differences between groups. The study found that static stretching had a detrimental effect on some performance measures while dynamic stretching did not significantly benefit performance over no stretching.

1. Acute Effects of Static and Dynamic Stretching on Female College Club
Athletes and Performance
Kaela Lane & Maddie Olfson

2. Overview
We chose this topic because we are both athletes
Stretching has been an important part of our lives
The question of whether static or dynamic stretching is still being asked

3. Findings from Literature Review
Static considered the best
Researchers then wanted to compare
No conclusions met
Most studies looked at men
These gaps led us to our research question

4. Acute effects of a warm-up including active, passive, and dynamic
stretching on vertical jump
Teenage tennis players
Types of stretching
Tested vertical jump
Static stretching detrimental
Dynamic did not benefit

5. Acute effects of three different stretching protocols on the Wingate test performance
15 active 25 year old men
Dynamic, static and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF)
Wingate Test
Peak Power
Dynamic stretching was not significantly different from no stretching

6. Acute effects of different volumes of dynamic stretching on vertical jump performance, flexibility and
muscular endurance
26, 22 year old men
Time: six or 12 min.
Tested on vertical jump and leg press
12 min had lower muscle endurance

7. Static vs. dynamic acute stretching effect on quadriceps muscle activity during soccer instep kicking
12 male college soccer players
Static vs. dynamic stretching
Split up into two groups
Soccer instep kick
Dynamic stretching was better

8. Acute bouts of upper and lower body static and dynamic stretching increase non-local joint range of
motion
Cross over effects of stretching
Dynamic vs. static
Tested range of motion
Stretch does affect range of motion
Range of motion affected by stretch tolerance

9. Research Question
This study will look at the effect of dynamic, static and no stretching before physical activity on
female athletes and the result on their power, agility and strength through the testing of three
performance exercises.

10. Looking at the Methods
We chose to measure our participants long jump, vertical jump, shuttle run,
and leg press
They asses muscle extension, endurance, and power
Measuring tape, vertec, a leg press, and a stop watch

11. Looking at the Methods
Female collegiate club athletes
18-22 years old
Club vs. Varsity athletes
75 participants
3 randomly assigned groups
3 different groups
Dynamic stretching
Static stretching

12. Looking at the Methods
Instruments
Tested
Jordan and Alumni Gym
Chose all instruments because they give quantitative feedback
Leg press: 70% of 1-RM
# of repetitions recorded until exhaustion

13. Looking at the Methods
Descriptive Statistics
Mean and SD
Significant Difference
Alpha and computer software
Alpha: .05
ANOVA
SPSS

15. Other Features
What we included in the appendix, the PARQ

16. Conclusion
We looked at college female club athletes
Randomly assigned them to 1 of 3 groups: static stretching, dynamic
stretching or no stretching
They completed a pretest
Stretched
Assessed their performance on four tests: long jump, vertical jump, leg
press and shuttle run
Used mean,SD and ANOVA to find significant difference
