The effect of strength exercises with muscle stretching in improving the level of the extensor muscles and flexor muscles of the knee joint in football players
Main Article Content
Abstract
The research aims to identify the effect of strength exercises with muscle stretching in improving the level of extensor muscles and flexor muscles of the knee joint for football players. The study was conducted on a sample of football team players of the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences - University of Anbar, numbering (10) players. The experimental method was chosen by designing a single group through pre- and post-measurement. The training program was implemented on the research sample for a period of 6 weeks at a rate of 3 training units per week and 18 training units. The researcher concluded that the use of strength exercises with muscle stretching improves the performance level of the extensor and flexor muscles of the knee joint. The researcher has worked on designing training programs that give sufficient time for strength exercises with muscle stretching in order to obtain results that improve the level to a greater extent.
