Brief summary: The aim of this study is to compare the immediate effects of lower extremity static stretching exercises on vertical jump in sedentary individuals based on gender.

Detailed description: The study was conducted on 10 female (Group 1) and 10 male (Group 2) university students. The vertical jump height (VJH) of the individuals who agreed to participate in the study was measured with a wireless jumping platform. After the initial evaluations, lower extremity static stretching exercises targeting the M. Gastrocnemious and M. Hamstring muscles were applied to the participants in both groups. The VJH of the participants was re-evaluated immediately after the application. Both pre-post evaluations and female-male comparison evaluations will be performed for the statistical analysis of the data.Statistical analysis will be performed with SPSS 24.0 program. If the data is parametric, paired sample t-test will be used for within-group evaluation; independent sample t-test will be used for between-group evaluation. If the data is non-parametric, Wilson test will be used for within-group evaluation and Mann Whitney U test will be used for between-group evaluation.
