Acute Effects of Passive and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation Stretching Techniques in Youth Basketball Players

The aim of this clinical trial is to learn the acute effects of passive stretching and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching techniques on agility, speed and lower extremity explosive strength in young basketball players. It will also provide information about the comparison of two different stretching techniques. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does passive stretching have positive acute effects on agility, speed and lower extremity explosive strength? Does PNF stretching have positive acute effects on agility, speed and lower extremity explosive strength? The acute effects of passive stretching and PNF stretching on agility, speed and lower extremity explosive strength will be compared. Participants: First tests were performed after the same warm-up program. Then, one of the two different stretching techniques was applied and the same tests were repeated immediately afterwards.
