Abstract

The purpose of this study was to study the effect of passive static stretching exercise on one of the important indicators of fitness-hip flexion range of motion among non-athlete women. For this purpose, 24 non-athlete women were randomly selected and divided into two groups of 12 individuals. Before starting the training, the pretest samples were taken from the hip flexion range of motion and then each experimental group continue relevant practices simultaneously for 7 weeks in three 45-minute sessions. At the end of training sessions, after examination of all groups, the results were analyzed by t-student test. Due to PNF training programs, hip flexion range of motion on female staff has shown a significant increase (α=0.05)
