Journal ArticleDOI
A review of the acute effects of static and dynamic stretching on performance
David G. Behm,Anis Chaouachi +1 more
TL;DR: Generally, a warm-up to minimize impairments and enhance performance should be composed of a submaximal intensity aerobic activity followed by large amplitude dynamic stretching and then completed with sport-specific dynamic activities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Factors affecting force loss with prolonged stretching
TL;DR: Although possible increases in muscle compliance affected twitch force, a lack of tetanic force change would suggest that post-stretch force decrements are more affected by muscle inactivation than changes in muscle elasticity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acute effects of muscle stretching on physical performance, range of motion, and injury incidence in healthy active individuals: a systematic review
TL;DR: Considering the small-to-moderate changes immediately after stretching and the study limitations, stretching within a warm-up that includes additional poststretching dynamic activity is recommended for reducing muscle injuries and increasing joint ROM with inconsequential effects on subsequent athletic performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
An acute bout of static stretching: effects on force and jumping performance.
TL;DR: The parallel duration of changes in ROM and quadriceps isometric force might suggest an association between stretch-induced changes in muscle compliance and isometricforce output.
Journal ArticleDOI
Velocity specificity of resistance training.
David G. Behm,Digby G. Sale +1 more
TL;DR: The preprogrammed neural circuitry of ballistic contractions suggests that high velocity training adaptations may involve significant neural adaptations, which may include the selective activation of motor units and/or muscles, especially with high velocity alternating contractions.
