The aim of the study was to determine the effect of ballistic and PNF stretching on hip joint range of movement among adolescent boys. Forty-five boys from higher secondary school Qaimoh Kulgam in Kashmir were selected randomly and their age ranged from 13 to 18 years. The subjects (N=45) were randomly assigned into three equal groups of fifteen boys each such as experimental group I, experimental group II and control group III. The experimental group I underwent ballistic stretching group (BSG) and experimental group II underwent PNF stretching group (PNFSG) for one hour in morning session. The control group (CG) didn’t participate in training programme. The period of training was twelve weeks in a schedule (weekly three alternative days). The data was collected on selected dependent variables before and after the training period. The collected data was statistically analyzed by using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) to find the significant differences among the groups. The Scheffe’s post hoc test was used to find the paired mean difference if any. The level of confidence was fixed at 0.05.Based on the study it was concluded that ballistic stretching training (BS) and PNF stretching training (PNFS) had significantly improved hip joint range of movement among adolescent boys.

Key words: ballistic stretching, PNF stretching, hip joint range of movement
