Sažetak
The main aim of this research is to display results of different approaches to stretching/elongation exercises in four weeks period of time. Research was conducted with participation of 18 female students of University of Applied Sciences Lavoslav Ruzicka. Participants were divided into two groups, age 21±2. To test flexibility, a standing toe-touch test was used, that determines flexibility of lumbar spine. Low back muscles, posterior pelvic muscles and lower extremities were being stretched during exercises. All of the participants were tested before and after training process. In overall, 16 trainings were held. In the first group, the training was based on ballistic stretching, while in the second group the training consisted of relaxation exercises. After 4 weeks, measured results showed improvement in both groups. Group in which training is based on the ballistic stretching is achieved in an average improvement of 2.1 cm., while the group that had relaxation exercises improved 3.05 cm in average. When reviewing the results, it can be assumed than in certain period of time, using relatively small number of trainings, relaxation exercises can lead to a considerable improvement, without the risk of injuries.
