摘要:The aims of this study were: 1) to determine the differences in hamstring extensibility between kneeling and forward legs in a group of canoeists; 2) to compare hamstring extensibility between canoeists and kayakers; and 3) to compare the sagittal spinal posture and pelvic tilt in the maximal trunk flexion with knees extended in kayakers and canoeists. Ninety-nine young male paddlers (17.51±6.15 years) (35 kayakers, 35 right-side canoeists and 29 left-side canoeists) participated in this study. Hamstring muscle extensibility was determined in both legs throughout the passive straight-leg raise test (PSLR) and the sit-and-reach test. Sagittal spinal curvatures and pelvic tilt were measured in the maximal trunk flexion with knees extended (sit-and-reach test) using a Spinal Mouse. The hamstring extensibility of the forward leg was higher than the kneeling leg ones in both groups of canoeists (p in the sit-and-reach test.
