Characterized in biomedical terms, stretching exercises have been defined as movements
applied by external and/or internal forces to increase muscle and joint flexibility, decrease …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 4 weeks of soleus stretching on
ankle flexibility and dynamic balance, as well as selected monitoring and performance tests …

Whereas prolonged static stretching (SS:> 60-seconds per muscle) can increase range of
motion (ROM) for up to 2-hours, it can also decrease maximal voluntary isometric contraction …

In athletics, achieving peak performance during competitions is crucial. Warm-up strategies
play a crucial role in optimizing the strength-speed performance of sprinters in athletics …

This study aimed to compare the acute effects of static stretching (SS) and proprioceptive
neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching on hamstrings flexibility and shear modulus …

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dynamic stretching combined with
manual therapy on pain, range of motion, function, and quality of life in patients with …

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a 16-week school-based
physical activity (PA) intervention on physical fitness (PF)(speed, hand-eye coordination …

We aimed to investigate the impact of isolated static stretching (4 sets of 30 seconds) and its
combined form with 10 repetitive drop jumps on lower limb performance during squat jumps …

Background The aim of the present study was to compare the effects of resistance training
through full range of motion and static stretching (SS) of the hip and lower back extensors on …

Dynamic stretching (DS) is performed as a warm-up to improve the range of motion and
