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 …

It is recognized that stretching is an effective method to chronically increase the joint range
of motion. However, the effects of stretching training on the muscle‐tendon structural …

Increasing muscle strength and cross-sectional area is of crucial importance to improve or
maintain physical function in musculoskeletal rehabilitation and sports performance …

Background A single foam-rolling exercise can acutely increase the range of motion (ROM)
of a joint. However, to date the adaptational effects of foam-rolling training over several …

The aim of the current study was to investigate the influence of static stretching on hamstring
flexibility in healthy young adults by means of systematic review and meta-analysis. The …

Different stretching strategies and protocols are widely used to improve flexibility or maintain
health, acting on the muscle tendon-unit, in order to improve the range of motion (ROM) of …

Stretch training increases the range of motion of a joint. However, to date, the mechanisms
behind such a stretching effect are not well understood. An earlier meta‐analysis on several …
