Study Design Controlled laboratory study. Objectives To examine the effect of 2 adhesive
tape conditions compared to a no-tape condition on muscle activity of the fibularis longus …

Background: Many lower limb disorders are related to calf muscle tightness and reduced
dorsiflexion of the ankle. To treat such disorders, stretches of the calf muscles are commonly …

The purpose of this study was to determine if three minutes of petrissage and tapotement
forms of massage would influence plantar flexors' flexibility, and muscle power. Nineteen …

Methods Twenty three men participated in this prospective longitudinal designed study and
were randomly divided in two groups: The experimental group (EG, n= 14; 24±4 years, 77±9 …

Dynamic stretching is commonly used in warm-up routines for athletic activities. Even though
several positive effects of dynamic stretching on athletic performance have been reported …

Context: Stretching exercise regimens are routinely prescribed to increase range of motion
(ROM) and diminish injuries. Objective: To examine the effect of a 3-minute passive stretch …
