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 …

Abstract Madoni, SN, Costa, PB, Coburn, JW, and Galpin, AJ. Effects of foam rolling on
range of motion, peak torque, muscle activation, and the hamstrings-to-quadriceps strength …

Although aging is commonly linked to a reduction in joint range of motion, it is unclear if all
body joints behave similarly. To address this issue, the main purpose of this study was to …

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the acute effects of dynamic stretching on concentric
leg extensor and flexor peak torque, eccentric leg flexor peak torque, and the conventional …

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 …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of antagonist passive static stretching
(AS) during the inter-set rest period on repetition performance and muscle activation. Ten …
