Summary
This study aimed to compare the acute effects of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) and static stretching on hamstring-to-quadriceps (H/Q) strength ratios in healthy young men. A randomized crossover design was used in which participants completed both stretching protocols on separate days. Isokinetic muscle strength and H/Q ratios were assessed following each intervention. The findings provide insight into the immediate effects of different stretching modalities on muscle balance and performance.
