The Long Term Effects of Short-Wave Diathermy and Long-Duration Static Stretch on Hamstring Flexibility
… of pulsed short- wave diathermy and prolonged stretch versus sham diathermy and prolonged stretch and control and to observe how long those changes last.</p> <p><strong>Background:</strong> Heat and stretch techniques have been touted for years. To date, the effect of short-wave diathermy and …

Effects of Dynamic, Static Stretch, and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation on Running Velocity, Step Length, and Step Rate
… the possible effects of three different types of stretch protocols and a no stretch protocol on collegiate female sprinters on the velocity, step length and step rate. Ten NCAA Division I female sprinters ranging in age from 18 to 22 participated in the study. A forty five meter sprint was …

Impact of static stretch and muscular contractions on force production within the human triceps surae muscle-tendon complex
Pre-performance routines commonly include stretching and intense muscular contractions in an attempt to optimise muscular performance and reduce injury risk. However, the isolated and combined effects of stretching and muscle contractions on neuromuscular performance are not well described. The …

Acute effects of dynamic and static stretch on the peak torque and ROM of the shoulder internal and external rotators.
… primary purpose was to determine whether or not static and/or dynamic stretch techniques affect the peak torque and average power of the shoulder rotators. A secondary purpose was to assess and compare range of motion after the two stretching techniques. Methods: Using a cross-over design, 16 …

A comparison of the effect of muscle energy technique (Greenman method) and passive stretching on hamstring extensibility
… as described by Greenman (Greenman 1996), to a static stretch of 30 seconds duration for increasing the extensibility of the hamstring muscles. Sixty-three asymptomatic participants (40 female and 23 male) were examined for hamstring extensibility using a modified active knee extension (AKE). …

Intrinsic and extrinsic factors associated with change in range of motion (ROM) after a single stretch session and repeated loading following an endurance run
Static stretching is commonly performed by athletes and clinicians on the assumption that it increases joint range of motion (ROM). However, observations from our laboratory indicate that there is an apparent inter-individual variance in the change in ROM in response to static stretching. …

The Effects Of Static Stretching Warm-Up Versus Dynamic Warm-Up On Sprint Swim Performance
<p>Recent research has revealed that static stretching (SS) warm-ups may attenuate power performance compared to other warm-up protocols, but most studies have focused on dry land modalities. PURPOSE: To examine the effects of an SS warm-up versus a dynamic warm-up (DW) on sprint performance in …
