Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of passive and dynamic stretching on muscle strength and power in takraw players. The participants of the study were twelve takraw male players, who played for a Surindra Rajabhat University and were between 20 and 26 years. All players performed the warm-up with passive stretching and dynamic stretching. The players then were given a test to measure muscle strength and power. The obtained data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and dependent t-test; the significance level was set at p < .05. The results of this study revealed that the posttest on muscle strength and power showed significant difference, p < .05. The conclusion was demonstrated that that the dynamic stretching was more likely to enhance players’ muscle strength and power, compared with passive stretching and it can be a suitable technique before training and competition for takraw players.
