When exercising with the static and PNF methods, three basic stretch amplitudes are used, which are differentiated according to the tension and muscle pain that the stretch causes. Because tension and pain perception are subjective sensations, it is difficult to assess whether an individual followed the stretch instructions and how much stretching, relative to the maximum stretch, the individual actually did. The purpose of the study was to determine whether different age groups of men differently perceive the same instruction in stretching exercises. The study involved 16 participants, which were divided into two groups. Eight subjects were in younger group (age 25 +- 2.6 years; size 1.79 +- 0.05 m; weight 71.8 +- 7.3 kg) and eight in the older group (age 36 +- 3.1 years; size 1.78 +- 0.07 m; weight 74.8 +- 8.4 kg). All participants were involved in recreational sports. Seat leaning on the bench exercise was used for the flexibility test, and the hip angle was measured. The participants made two separate days of test measurements in random order. One test day consisted of basic stretch measurements and the other was drastic stretch measurements. The results showed that there was no difference between the age groups in the difference between the angle at baseline and the drastic stretch (younger group M = 7.3; SE = 2.3; older group M = 4.5; SE = 1.6; t (14) = 1.02; p > 0.05). Based on the present research, it can be concluded that the different old groups of man do not differ in their understanding of the instructions for performing the basic stretch during the seat leaning on the bench exercise.
