Abstract

The article discusses research comparing the effects of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching and static stretching on maximal voluntary contraction (MVC). 13 male university students participated in the randomized study, completing three different conditions on three non-consecutive days, including static stretching (SS), PNF stretching (PNF), and no stretching (control, CON). An in-depth discussion of the results is presented.
