About this study
Official title: Immediate Effects of Post-isometric Relaxation and Static Stretching on Quadriceps Muscle During Vertical Jump in Volley Ball and Basketball Players
A randomized control trial study was conducted in Islamic International University Islamabad from 1st August 2017 to 31st January 2018 according to the set criteria. A total number of 29 athletes age between 18-35 and playing as part time/ domestic level included in this study. Data were divided into experimental group (n=15) and control group (n=14) by random sampling technique. Post isometric relaxation technique was used in experimental group and static stretching was given in control group. Baseline reading was taken before intervention and post intervention reading taken immediately after application of intervention. Data analyzed through SPSS 20.
Read the detailed description
Vertical jump is defined as the ability of athlete to elevate off the ground from standstill.There are two types of vertical jump which re squat vertical jump and vertical stop jump. There was a strong correlation between maximal strength in half squats and sprint performance and jumping height.
Muscle energy technique(METS) is the procedure which involves voluntary contraction of muscle in specific direction with different angles against a counterforce applied by clincian.METS is used to enhance strength of group of muscle, increase afferent input to facilitate reflexive stabilization and increase endurance in coordinated movement patterns.
Athletes perform dynamic stretching before sports involvement. Study shows that three 30 seconds stretch enhance muscle length immediatley after stretching.
A study conducted in 2003 to see the effects of muscle energy technique on hamstring extensibility, the conclusion of this study that muscle energy technique produced an immediate increase in passive knee extension.
A study conducted on immediate effect of two muscle energy techniques on quadriceps muscle during vertical jump. The study suggests concentric muscle energy technique on quadriceps muscle is the most appropriate technique to potentiate height jump performance and stretch-shorten cycle function in counter-movement jump.
Athletes ususully perfrom stretching exercises in warm up before involvement to sports.Study suggest that dynamic stretching is more suitable for use as part of warmup in young athletes. Athletes invlve in high intensity exercise demand stretch shorten cycle, stretching may be important for injury prevention. Stretching also reduce the peak torque and mean power output.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Muscle Energy TechniqueOther
In experimental group, post-isometric relaxation technique has given to the athletes. The position of athlete was prone and the involved group of muscle was quadriceps. Firstly end range of the quadriceps muscle group assess and guide the athlete to put 20% of their maximum voluntary contraction and physiotherapist resist the athlete and isometric contraction of quadriceps remain for 6-10 seconds
Static StretchOther
Control group has treated with static stretching after the pre-assessment that includes three repetitions with duration of fifteen seconds with twenty second rest intervals on lower extremities
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Muscle Energy Technique | Experimental | Post isometric relaxation technique was used in experimental group Receives: Other: Muscle Energy Technique |
| Static Stretch | Active comparator | Static stretching was given in control group Receives: Other: Static Stretch |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Vertical Jump - Force Plates
Athletes starting position is squat position (Which is the baseline position) on the force-plates and did jump by saying jump, then Jump and sway were noted by physical therapist in seconds
Measured: Day 1
Muscle Recruitment: through Electromyography
During vertical jump athletes quadriceps muscle recruitment is noted by noting the amplitude
Measured: Day 1
30 Meter sprint
Athletes start its 30 meter sprint with maximum speed and it is used to check the maximum strength in seconds
Measured: Day 1
Ground Reaction force (flight time):- through Force plates
Athletes starting position is squat position on the force-plates and did jump by saying jump and the flight time were noted by physical therapist in newton
Measured: Day 1

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Muscle Energy Technique and Static Stretch in people with Healthy, run by Riphah International University at 1 site in Pakistan.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jul 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Pakistan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Vertical Jump - Force Plates (time frame: Day 1). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04002206, which also lists 7 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Jul 2019.
