Muscle stretching and Strength Training
"Each step of stretching on specific muscles was repeated three times by keeping the posture for 30 seconds, (Arnold and Kokkonen, 2007; Toraman A, Yildirim. 2010; Dai, Ware, Giuliani, 2012; Duque et al., 2013; Granacher et al., 2013). The Pectoral, Quadriceps, Paraspinal, Abdominal and Ischial tibial and sural triceps muscles were elongated.~Strength Training Muscle strengthening was performed using weights and dumbbells. The training load individually determined through the test of strength with 10 repetitions maximum. The load was reevaluated four weeks of training. The Abdominal, Paraspinal, Quadriceps and Posterior thigh muscles (hamstrings) were submitted to the intervention protocol."
