Abstrak

Hamstring muscle is important in movement of hip extension, knee flexion, and assistes in the movement of internal and external rotation hip. But in certain condition, like shorthening muscle, it can lead to imbalance of the muscle working. The purpose of this study was to identify about the intervention of contract relax stretching direct was better to increase the flexibility of hamstring muscle be compared with the intervention of contract relax stretching in- direct which measured using Sit and Reach Test . This research was an experiment study with pretest - postest two group design. These samples included 28 people who were devided into two groups. Group I was given contract re- lax stretching direct intervention, while Group II was given contract relax stretching indirect intervention. Paired sam- ple t - test on Group I showed p=0,000 with the mean differences±SD 10,01±4,186 and on Group II showed p=0,000 with the mean differences±SD 5,79±1,254. The results showed theat there was significant flexibility increasing in each group. While Independet sample t - test was obtained p = 0,001 (p< 0.05), so it can be concluded that the contract re- lax stretching direct intervention was better to increase the flexibility of hamstring muscle than contract relax stretch- ing indirect.
