Book excerpt: The purpose of the research was to evaluate and compare flexibility changes as a result of Static Stretching, Nautilus Weight Training, Nautilus supplemented by static stretching and a control group. Twenty-eight male volunteers underwent five measures of shoulder flexibility prior to and immediately following a four week training program. The subjects were randomly assigned to four treatment groups; (1)Static Stretching Exercises, (2)Nautilus Weight Training, (3)Nautilus Weight Training supplemented with Static Stretching Exercises and (4)a control group. The data was analyzed using a One-Way Analysis of variance and Newman Xeuls Multiple Comparison Test. Within the confines of the study, the null hypothesis was rejected at the .05 level of confidence for all but one measure of shoulder flexibility (shoulder extension). A comparison of the three treatment groups showed that the Static Stretching group was responsible for statistically significant changes in two of the five flexibility measures, the results from the data showed statistically significant changes in two of the five measures using the Nautilus Training Program and the Nautilus Training Program supplemented by Static Stretching Exercises proved to develop statistically significant increases in four of the five flexibility measures. It was concluded that for best results in flexibility development, the Nautilus Weight Training Program should be supplemented by Static Stretching Exercises and that Nautilus Weight Training alone is better than Static Stretching Exercises alone.
