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 …

Passive and active stretching techniques have been shown to increase both chronic and
acute range of motion (ROM). Acute ROM improvements can be countered by decreases in …
