Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of static and dynamic stretching protocols on performance time of the Illinois Agility Test. Nineteen Division II women soccer players from Humboldt State University were randomly assigned to three treatment groups; control, static, and dynamic. Each group ran a mile in ten minutes and performed the Illinois Agility Test. The static stretching group ran a mile in ten minutes, performed a static stretching protocol before running the Illinois Agility Test while the dynamic stretching group performed a dynamic stretching protocol before running the Illinois Agility Test. A one-way ANOVA revealed no significant differences among the three treatment groups on performance time to complete the Illinois Agility Test: control group (M = 14.24 s), static stretching group (M = 14.50 s), and dynamic stretching group (M = 14.15 s). Results suggest that dynamic stretching does not produce faster test times for explosive agility activity over static stretching.
