Stretching is a method commonly performed to increase the range of motion of certain joints. Among the techniques of stretching, the most frequently used are the Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) and static stretching. Objectives: To determine which method provides greater benefits to increase flexibility through a survey of studies conducted with PNF stretching techniques and static. Materials and Method: We performed a literature search on platforms with Lilacs, PubMed and Google Scholar using the keywords “static and PNF stretching”, “static stretching” and “proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation stretching”. The initial number of articles found was 847; after selection by title and abstract and complete reading, 23 studies were included in the review. Results: From reading the articles that compared the two stretching protocols, it was observed that 28 percent of them resulted in a better effect of the method PNF; 7 percent reported greater benefits concerning static stretching; and 64 percent of the articles indicated that there is no significant difference between static stretching and PNF. Conclusions: Through the reading of various studies that compared and analyzed the effects of
