Fig. 5 Mean (± SE) passive plantar flexor moment before and after stretching. Passive moment (a) was reduced after stretching at all dorsiflexion angles along the joint moment-angle curve (one subject’s data depicted during a contract-relax trial). Significant reductions in the slope of the passive moment curve (b) were found after contract-relax (CR; 19.1%) and stretch-return-contract (SRC; 13.3%) stretching. No difference was found in the changes in passive moment between conditions (P > 0.05). #Significant to P < 0.05
