Effects of job-simulated flexibility and strength-flexibility training protocols on maintenance employees engaged in manual handling operations / L. Guo... [et al.]

Sumario: This study examined the effects of four flexibility and strength-flexibility training protocols on the dynamic strength, endurance time, and truncal operations. Significant improvement in physical capacity was obtained through flexibility training either by a progressive increase in the holding time with fixed exercise repetition or a progressive increase repetition with fixed holding time. The flexibility and strength-flexibility training protocols exhibited similar effects on physical capacity. It was suggested that a follow-up flexibility protocol should be performed on a daily basis in order to maintain the gains obtained in flexibility during the intensive-short training programe
