The purpose of the thesis was to determine whether there are differences in the perception of instructions when stretching between younger and older men. Two groups were included in the study, each with eight participants. In the first group, participants were between 20 and 30 years old, while in the second group participants were between 30 and 40 years old.
Two mobility tests in the hip joint were used. The motive task performed by the testers during the test was the precondition on the bench, to which an additional instruction was given on how to execute the task or how to stretch. In the first test, the testers were stretched in the training amplitude, which means that the instructions should be stretched to the pain. In the second test, the measurement was extended to maximum amplitude, which means that the instructions should be maximally extended through pain. In both tests, we observed the final position achieved by the participants and based on this, it was measured as achieved in the hip joint. The results of both tests were compared within each group and between groups.
Comparison of data has shown that older men perceive instructions in the same way as younger ones. Thus, in the two groups of measurements, as expected, a larger stretch of the instruction should be stretched to the maximum (maximum amplitude), as in the instruction to stretch to the pain (exercise amplitude).
