Background Although it is known that resistance training can be as effective as stretch
training to increase joint range of motion, to date no comprehensive meta-analysis has …

Healthcare | Free Full-Text | Strength Training versus Stretching for Improving Range of Motion:
A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Next Article in Journal Three-Dimensional …

Background Nowadays, there is a lack of consensus and high controversy about the most
effective range of motion (ROM) to minimize the risk of injury and maximize the resistance …

Skeletal muscle has the remarkable ability to remodel and adapt, such as the increase in
serial sarcomere number (SSN) or fascicle length (FL) observed after overstretching a …

The incidence and recurrence of hamstrings injuries are very high in sports, posing elevated
performance and financial-related costs. Attempts to identify the risk factors involved in …

Specificity has two major components: A strength-endurance continuum (S-EC) and
adherence to principles of Dynamic Correspondence. Available evidence indicates the …

Background: Hamstring injuries are common among athletes. Considering the potentially
prolonged recovery and high rate of recurrence, effective methods of prevention and risk …

Background: Hamstring weakness has been associated with an increased risk of hamstring
strain, a common sports injury that occurs when athletes perform actions such as quick …

Background Although the superior effectiveness of free‐weight over machine‐based training
has been a traditionally widespread assumption, longitudinal studies comparing these …

Background: The risk of future injury appears to be influenced by agonist fascicle length
(FL), joint range of motion (ROM) and eccentric strength. Biomechanical observations of the …
