Abstract

The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation on flexibility of 11 to 14 years old school Girls. Total sample of 15 subjects were selected through purposive random sampling technique and pretest and posttest of flexibility measured by sit and reach test with flexo-meter. Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation was considered as independent variable and flexibility was considered as dependent variable. Experimental Group performed Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) training program for three months, four days in a week for 40 minutes in a day. Paired T-Test was used as a statistical technique along with descriptive analysis and significance level was set on 0.05. The results of this investigation revealed significant difference in pretest and posttest of an experimental group of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation.
