A comparison of the effects of stretch duration and repetitions on hamstring extensibility

Creator:

Mende, Gent N.

Abstract:

The increase in tissue extensibility and joint range of motion through stretching has often been demonstrated. However, the existence of an optimal stretch duration has not been proven and the identification of an ideal number of repetitions of a stretch has received little attention in the literature. The purpose of...

The neuromuscular effects of a long-term static stretching program on the human soleus

Creator:

Hayes, Bradley T.

Abstract:

The purpose of this research was to evaluate the effects of a long-term static stretching program on flexibility and spinal reflexes in the human soleus muscle. Day-to-day reliability over two days of H-reflex gain (Hslp/Mslp) and pre-synaptic inhibition of spinal reflexes in the human soleus was measured in an initial...
