One determining factor for running performance is running economy (RE), which can be
quantified as the steady-state oxygen consumption at a given running speed. Stretching is …

This randomized crossover counterbalanced study investigated, in recreational runners, the
acute effects of pre-exercise stretching on physiological and metabolic responses …

Purpose Previous studies report that static stretching (SS) impairs running economy.
Assuming that pacing strategy relies on rate of energy use, this study aimed to determine …

Objective: The purpose of this article was to evaluate the clinical and basic science evidence
surrounding the hypothesis that stretching improves performance. Data Sources and …

The aim of this study was to examine the acute effects of prolonged static stretching (SS) on
running economy. Ten male runners ([Vdot] O2peak 60.1±7.3 ml· kg− 1· min− 1) performed …
