Article Synopsis
- Static stretching (SS) and dynamic stretching (DS) are common warm-ups used before sports, but their impact on postural control is not well understood.
- A study with 15 participants compared the effects of SS, DS, and no stretching (control) on postural stability during single-leg standing, measuring factors like center of pressure (COP) displacement.
- Results showed that DS improved postural control by significantly reducing COP range, velocity, and area, while SS had no noticeable effect, suggesting that DS may aid in injury prevention and performance enhancement.
