The effects of static stretching (StS) on subsequent strength and power activities has been
one of the most debated topics in sport science literature over the past decades. The aim of …

Stretching has long been used in many physical activities to increase range of motion (ROM)
around a joint. Stretching also has other acute effects on the neuromuscular system. For …

We applied a meta‐analytical approach to derive a robust estimate of the acute effects of pre‐
exercise static stretching (SS) on strength, power, and explosive muscular performance. A …

Whereas a variety of pre-exercise activities have been incorporated as part of a “warm-up”
prior to work, combat, and athletic activities for millennia, the inclusion of static stretching …

Introduction Static stretching (SS) is commonly performed as part of warm-up routine.
However, only few previous studies have reported on the effects of short-duration SS, which …

INTRODUCTION: The benefits of preexercise muscle stretching have been recently
questioned after reports of significant poststretch reductions in force and power production …

The results of previous research have shown that passive muscle stretching can diminish
the peak force output of subsequent maximal isometric, concentric and stretch-shortening …

Static stretching (SS) is widely used in warm-ups before training and competition. A growing
amount of research, however, has demonstrated that SS can impair muscle performance …
