This study aimed to compare the acute effects of static and dynamic stretching exercises on the vertical jump performance and range of motion of 22 male professional soccer players. After the dynamic stretching intervention, the experimental group (n = 13) showed a significant increase in vertical jump performance (p = 0.002), but no significant changes were observed after static stretching (p = 0.343) as well as after tests without stretching intervention (p > 0.05). Regarding range of motion, there were no significant differences in the sit and reach (p = 0.263) under the three conditions examined: static stretching, dynamic stretching, and control (no stretching). These results suggest that dynamic stretching is the most suitable type of stretching to perform before warm-up routines that require muscle power. However, none of the interventions proposed in this study resulted in an increase in range of motion.Downloads
