Resumen

El objetivo de la presente revisión fue examinar los efectos de los programas de estiramiento en Educación Física sobre la extensibilidad de la musculatura isquiosural en estudiantes de Educación Secundaria. Los estudios relevantes se buscaron en 10 bases de datos. Los resultados sugirieron que los estudiantes deberían realizar programas de estiramientos con al menos una duración de 5-6 semanas, una frecuencia de dos veces por semana, y un volumen por sesión de 30-60 s (20-30 s por serie) para obtener mejoras en la extensibilidad de la musculatura isquiosural. Programas de estiramientos con una mayor duración, frecuencia y volumen parecen obtener mayores efectos. Aunque la mayoría de los estudios obtuvieron mejoras de la flexibilidad usando técnicas estáticas, los ejercicios dinámicos realizados de forma controlada también produjeron mejoras y fueron seguros. Después de un período de desentrenamiento de cuatro semanas, los estudiantes volvieron a sus niveles basales. Los profesores deberían implementar programas de estiramiento para mejorar la flexibilidad de los estudiantes durante las clases de Educación Física.
