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 …

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 …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of a single static, ballistic, or
proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching exercise on the various muscle …

The use of dynamic stretching as a replacement for static stretching in the warm-up is
widespread based on the reports of static stretching-induced performance impairments …

Dynamic stretching (DS) is often performed during warm-up to help avoid hamstring muscle
injuries, increase joint flexibility, and optimize performance. We examined the effects of DS …

Background It is well known that stretch training can induce prolonged increases in joint
range of motion (ROM). However, to date more information is needed regarding which …

Dynamic stretching (DS) is performed to increase sports performance and is also used
primarily for transiently increasing range of motion (ROM). Recently, vibration foam rolling …

The purpose of this study was to examine the acute effects of different volumes of a dynamic
stretching routine on vertical jump (VJ) performance, flexibility and muscular endurance …

Vibration rolling (VR) has emerged as a self-myofascial release (SMR) tool to aid exercise
performance when warming up. However, the benefits of VR on exercise performance when …
