Comparison of the Immediate Effects of Lower Extremity Static Stretching Exercises on Vertical Jump

Static stretching exercises were applied to the M. Gastrocnemious and M. Hamstring muscle groups for both groups. The exercises were applied as a set, with three repetitions for 15 seconds on each leg, with a 20-second rest between repetitions. Static stretching was applied by slowly stretching the relevant muscle group to the point of sensitivity, without straining the pain threshold, and waiting in that position. All stretching exercises lasted an average of 6 minutes.
