The Impact of Static Stretching on Energy Cost and Running Endurance Performance of Female Athletes of University of Narowal, Panjab, Pakistan

Abstract

The purpose of the research study, Stretching before anaerobic events has brought about decreases in performance; be that as it may, the quick impacts of stretching on endurance performance have not been explored. This study researched, the impacts of static stretching on energy cost and endurance performance in prepared female sprinters. Ten prepared female distance sprinters matured years 25±7 with a normal VO2max of 63.8 ± 2.8 ml/kg/min were selected. Participants answered to the lab on 3 separate days. On day 1, anthropometrics and VO2max were estimated. On days 2 and 3, participants played out an hour-long treadmill run randomly under stretching or non-stretching conditions isolated by no less than multi week. Stretching comprised of 16 minutes of static stretching involving 5 activities for the significant lower body muscle gatherings, though non-stretching comprised of 16 minutes of quiet sitting. The run comprised of a 30-minute 65% VO2max preload followed by a 30-minute performance run where participants ran beyond what many would consider possible without review distance or speed. Total calories used were determined for the 30-minute preload run, while performance was estimated as distance canvassed in the performance run. Performance was essentially more prominent in the non-stretching (6.0 6 1.1 km) versus the stretching (5.8 ± 1.0 km) condition (p, 0.05), with altogether more noteworthy energy consumption during the stretching contrasted and the non-stretching condition (425 ± 50 versus 405 ± 50 kcals). Our discoveries recommend that stretching before a n endurance occasion might bring down endurance performance and increase the energy cost of running.
