1회성 PNF 스트레칭과 수동적 스트레칭이 대학생의 동적균형과 정적균형 및 기능적 움직임에 미치는 영향

초록

The present study examined the effects of a single session of PNF stretching and passive stretching on dynamic balance, static balance, and functional movement in a group of college students. The results revealed that, in dynamic balance assessed by the Y-Balance Test, the PNF stretching group exhibited a significant increase in the composite reach distance on both the left and right sides(p<.05), whereas the passive stretching group showed no significant changes. In the static balance test, no significant differences were observed between the two groups in the forward-backward and left-right directions(p>.05). Additionally, slight improvements were observed in scores for the Deep Squat, Hurdle Step, In-Line Lunge, and Active Straight Leg Raise items in the Functional Movement Screen(FMS), although these changes were not statistically significant(p>.05). These findings suggest that PNF stretching may positively influence neuromuscular control and integrated movement coordination, particularly improving dynamic balance even after a single intervention. This study further supports the view that PNF stretching is a valuable component of a warm-up routine prior to physical activity. Furthermore, it is anticipated that future research, including diverse age groups and specific populations, will strengthen the use of PNF stretching as foundational data for exercise prescriptions aimed at enhancing functional movement and preventing falls.
