APPLICATION OF PNF STRETCHING TEHNIQUES OF THE SPORT AND ITS EFFECTS

Sportske ozljede nastaju tijekom vježbanja ili sportske aktivnosti, zbog dovođenja tjelesnih struktura u nepovoljan položaj. Pojavljuju se i kao sindromi prenaprezanja što je odraz pretreniranosti ili lošeg pristupa treningu. Sindromi prenaprezanja su česte pojave kod profesionalnih sportaša, dok su ozlijede zbog neutreniranosti češće kod rekreativaca. Neki od najučestalijih i najpoznatijih sindroma prenaprezanja su skakačko koljeno, teniski lakat, sindrom rotatorne manžete, ruptura mišića stražnje lože, ruptura ahilove tetive, plantarni fascitis, itd. U prevenciji, kao i u liječenju sportskih ozljeda moguće je primijeniti proprioceptivnu neuromuskularnu facilitaciju. Tehnike Contract-relax (Napni – opusti) i Hold-relax (Drži – opusti) primjenjuju se s ciljem postizanja veće fleksibilnosti. Cilj ovoga rada je prikazati način provođenja i učinkovitosti proprioceptivne-neuromuskulatorne facilitacije u prevenciji i rehabilitaciji ozljeda kod sportaša.Sports injuries occur during exercise or sporting activity, the body structure of bringing a disadvantage. They appear as overuse syndromes reflecting overtraining or poor access to training. Overuse injuries are common in professional athletes, while injury due to lack of training often with amateurs. Some of the most common and most overuse injuries as jumper's knee, tennis elbow, rotator cuff syndrome, rupture of muscle back of the lodge, rupture of the Achilles tendon, plantar fasciitis, etc.. In prevention, as well as in the treatment of sports injuries can be applied proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation. Techniques Contract-relax and Hold-relax are applied in order to achieve greater flexibility. The aim of this study is to show the way of implementation and effectiveness of Proprioceptive-Neuromusculoskeletal facilitation in the prevention and rehabilitation of injuries in athletes
