| Abstract | ||
| The research aims to Design a muscular stretching program using the static stretching method and the Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) for Taekwondo female juniors. Identify differences between the effect of each of the static stretching and (PNF) on the improvement rates in the range of motion and some physical skills variables in Taekwondo. The researcher used the experimental method by designing two experimental groups with pre and post measurements each. The Sample consisted of Taekwondo female juniors players. The PNF method gave higher improvement rates than the static stretching method in the range of motion variables and gave higher improvement rates than the static stretching method in the specific physical variables of the Taekwondo female players. Recommendations: The importance of using the PNF stretching method in the muscular stretching programs for Taekwondo female players in different age stages. | ||
