The Effect of Static Stretching and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation Stretching in Reducing Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness among Adults: A Systematic Review

Abstract Stretching is typically done as part of a warm-up regimen before training or competition to improve muscle flexibility, and performance and prevent DOMS. Stretching techniques include static, ballistic and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF). Limited data supports the effectiveness of static and PNF stretching in reducing DOMS, despite its perceived ease and safety. Studies indicate stretching had an impact on the decrease of DOMS following physical activity. Additionally, other studies indicate that static and PNF stretching may reduce lower limb performance and may not be effective in reducing DOMS. Thus, this research sought to identify the effect of static and PNF stretching in reducing DOMS among adults. Using online databases such as PubMed, PEDro, The Cochrane Library, and ScienceDirect, a thorough search of the English-language literature was carried out for publications published between 2013 and 2023. Seven relevant articles for review have been identified using these databases. Randomized control trial studies in which the participants were adult population, used static stretching or/and PNF stretching as an intervention and outcomes on perceived muscle soreness and range of motion were included in this review. Subsequently, the publications went through screening based on their abstracts and titles and PICOS criteria were used to assess each article's eligibility. Following that, RoB2 tools were used to evaluate the papers' risk of bias. The information was then examined descriptively. The result of this systematic review study showed that there is a positive effect of static stretching in reducing DOMS among adults. However, the effect of PNF stretching in reducing DOMS among healthy adults is still inconclusive due to the limited number of randomized control trial studies on PNF stretching being conducted.
