Recently, there has been a shift from static stretching (SS) or proprioceptive neuromuscular
facilitation (PNF) stretching within a warm-up to a greater emphasis on dynamic stretching …

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 …
