title: Reduction of neuromuscular hypertension for improvement of athletic performance.
abstract: This study investigates the inhibition of neuromuscular tension in specific key muscles, for the purpose of increasing athletic efficiency. Four golfers were studied electromyographically during the backswing. Integrated EMG findings from the right wrist flexors showed a significant decrease following application of passive stretch. The theoretical and practical aspects of this technique are discussed. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 1984;5(6):384-390.
