| Research Abstract |
This work researched the effect of continuous stretching and intermittent stretching in muscle blood flow assessing by Thallium-201 radiotracer. These stretching methods are common techniques used in muscle disuse atrophy prevention and recovery. The investigation on stretching methods showed that intermittent stretching had faster effects on increasing the muscle blood flow than the continuous stretching. The blood flow increasing effect in single muscle longitudinal areas (proximal, medial and distal) were not homogeneous in a single muscle, varying according to the stretch method, intensity and frequency. However there was no statistical difference between the stretching methods in relation to the atrophy preventive effects.
