Effects of Hot or Cold Water Immersion and Modified Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation Flexibility Exercise on Hamstring Length.
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To compare the changes in hamstring length resulting from modified proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation flexibility training in combination with cold-water immersion, hot-water immersion, and stretching alone. DESIGN AND SETTING: Training-only subjects stood motionless for 10 minutes, while subjects in the cold group stood in a cold-water bath (8 degrees +/- 1 degrees C) immersed up to the gluteal fold for 10 minutes, and …
