Tokyo, July 29 -- UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) received information related to the study (UMIN000062373) titled 'Effects of Stretching on Muscle Stiffness' on July 28.

Study Type: Interventional

Study Design: Basic Design - Parallel Randomization - Randomized Blinding - Open -no one is blinded Control - Active

Primary Sponsor: Institute - hokkaido University of science

Condition: Condition - Muscle Tear Classification by malignancy - Others Genomic information - NO

Objective: Narrative objectives1 - This study examined methodology for static stretching (SS), a technique commonly used to improve muscle flexibility, applied to the gracilis muscle, an adductor of the hip joint. The purpose of this study was to investigate how differences in knee joint angle affect changes in gracilis muscle flexibility during static hip abduction stretching, and to determine the most effective SS condition by evaluating multiple knee joint angle conditions Basic objectives2 - Safety,Efficacy

Intervention: Interventions/Control_1 - Static stretching in the direction of hip abduction. Full knee extension Interventions/Control_2 - Static stretching in the direction of hip abduction. 90 degrees Knee Flexion Position

Eligibility: Age-lower limit - 18 years-old
