  • Title: Stretching exercise and soccer: effect of stretching on range of motion in the lower extremity in connection with soccer training.
    Author: Möller MH, Oberg BE, Gillquist J.
    Journal: Int J Sports Med; 1985 Feb; 6(1):50-2. PubMed ID: 3988416.
    Abstract:
    Forty-eight players from four senior, male soccer teams were tested for ranges of motion (ROM) in the lower extremity before, immediately after, and 24 h after different forms of soccer training. The players were tested after regular soccer training (A), after soccer training with contract-relax stretching prior to beginning the session (B), and after soccer training with stretching added at the end of the program (C). Each training session lasted 1.5 h. In group A all six ROMs were decreased 24 h after the training. In group B the only change in ROM noted was an increase in knee flexion directly after the training. In group C there was an increase in hip extension, hip flexion, and knee flexion directly after the training.
