This study investigated the effects of active and/or passive warm‐up tasks on the hamstring
muscles stiffness through elastography and passive torque measurements. On separate …

Knee extension and hip flexion range of motion (ROM) and functional performance of the
hamstrings are of great importance in many sports. The aim of this study was to investigate if …

The purpose of this study was to examine whether the effects of hamstring stretching on the
passive stiffness of each of the long head of the biceps femoris (BF l), semitendinosus (ST) …

Over the last decade, acute increases in range of motion (ROM) in response to foam rolling
(FR) have been frequently reported. Compared to stretching, FR-induced ROM increases …

Context: Hamstring injuries are common, and lack of hamstring flexibility may predispose to
injury. Static stretching not only increases range of motion (ROM) but also results in reduced …

Context: Foam rolling has been proposed to improve muscle function, performance, and
joint range of motion (ROM). However, whether a foam rolling protocol can be adopted as a …

To date, limited information exists describing a relatively new stretching technique, dynamic
range of motion (DROM). The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of DROM with …

Limited information is available on whether stiffness is different within and between the
constituents of the hamstring, that is, the biceps femoris long head (BFlh), semitendinosus …
