Efficacy of stretching combined with acceleration training in healthy adults

Abstract

 The efficacy of stretching combined with acceleration training (AT) was evaluated in healthy adults by comparing the magnitude of changes in the range of motion of the hip joint between a group that underwent the AT + stretching and a group that underwent stretching alone. The magnitude of changes in the range of hip flexion and composite angle differed significantly between the two groups, suggesting the potential usefulness of introducing an exercise regimen involving AT for patients who have undergone total hip replacement.
