in the exercised muscles. ! e repeated stretch re ex permits muscles to work longer without fatiguing. Alternating contractions of the an-tagonistic muscles relieves the fatigue that fol-lows repeated exercise of one group of muscles. We have grouped the PNF techniques so that those with similar functions or actions are togeth-er.

en used [ , ]. PNF stretching is popular in sports and focuses on using voluntary muscle contractions to increase ROM by minimizing the resistance of the spinal re ex pathway [ ]. e common types of PNF techniques include contract-relax, contract-relax with agonist contraction, hold

PNF stretching utilizes static stretching and isometric contractions of the target muscle (TM) in a consecutive style. Static and PNF stretching are preferred to improve flexibility, while dynamic stretching good for warm-up (Costa et al., 2014; D. Medeiros & Martini, 2017). PNF is

Low - intensity active stretching, using repeated, short - duration, end range active muscle contractions of the muscle opposite the shortened muscle is a form of self - stretching exercise. [6] PNF Stretching – In the early 1900s, Sherrington defined the concepts of neuromuscular facilitation and inhibition, and that

PNF techniques are as follows: 1) Recurrent Contractions, 2) Rhythmic Initiation, 3) Slow Opposite, 4) Slow Opposite Hold, 5) Rhythmic Stabilization, 6) Pulse-Relax, 7) Hold-Relax, 8) Slow Opposite Hold Relax, 9) Opposite of Antagonist (Alter, 2004). In this study as PNF method; Pulse-Relax and Hold-Relax techniques were preferred.
