INTRODUCTION: The benefits of preexercise muscle stretching have been recently
questioned after reports of significant poststretch reductions in force and power production …

Stretching is commonly practiced before sports participation; however, effects on
subsequent performance and injury prevention are not well understood. There is an …

We applied a meta‐analytical approach to derive a robust estimate of the acute effects of pre‐
exercise static stretching (SS) on strength, power, and explosive muscular performance. A …

Abstract Aguilar, AJ, DiStefano, LJ, Brown, CN, Herman, DC, Guskiewicz, KM, and Padua,
DA. A dynamic warm-up model increases quadriceps strength and hamstring flexibility. J …

Static (SS) and dynamic stretching (DS) can lead to subsequent performance impairments or
enhancement with the stretched limb. Crossover or non‐local muscle fatigue (NLMF) refers …

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 …

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 …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the acute effects of passive stretching on the
electromechanical delay (EMD), peak twitch force (PTF), rate of force development (RFD) …

Recent evidence has shown acute static stretching may decrease hamstring‐to‐quadriceps
(H: Q) ratios. However, the effects of static stretching on the functional H: Q ratio, which uses …

The purpose of this study was to examine the acute effects of different stretching exercises
on the performance of the traditional Wingate test (WT). Fifteen male participants performed …
