dc.description.abstractThe study investigated the effects of active static stretching exercises on the hip flexor muscles of adolescents. The participants were sixty students of Elite Crop Senior Secondary School, Oshodi/Isolo Local Government area of Lagos state, Nigeria. Age ranged from 12-17 years. Simple random sampling technique, using a fish bowl method with replacement was used in selecting the participants. Informed consent forms were given to the participants. The participants were subjected to active static stretching exercises lasting thirty minutes, performed two times a week. Data were collected on the active static stretching test on the participants. The data collected were analyzed with descriptive statistics of mean, standard deviation and inferential statistics of t-test. There was significant difference in the active static stretch of male (t - 8.191, p <0.05) and female (t = 13.462, p <0.05) adolescents respectively. Comparatively, there was insignificant difference (t = 0.083, p >0.05) in the active static stretch of male and female adolescents. It is concluded that active static stretch has effect on the flexibility of hip muscles of the male and female adolescents. It is recommended that adolescents should take part in stretching exercises, two to three times a week to enhance the flexibility of the hip joint and other joints in the bodyen_US
