Background and Purpose While there is limited evidence supporting the use of soft tissue
mobilization techniques for Subacromial Pain Syndrome (SAPS), synonymous with
subacromial impingement syndrome, previous studies have reported successful outcomes …

Purpose A previous study observed a joint passive torque increase above baseline~ 30 min
after a high-intensity stretching. This study examined the effect of a high-intensity stretching
on ankle dorsiflexion passive torque, medial gastrocnemius (MG) shear modulus, and …

Adaptations to 6 weeks of supervised hamstring stretching training and its potential impact
on symptoms of eccentric exercise‐induced muscle damage (EIMD) were studied in 10
young, untrained men with limited hamstrings flexibility. Participants performed unilateral …

Context: Although stretching exercises are commonly used in clinical and athletic practice,
there is a lack of evidence regarding the methodological variables that guide the
prescription of stretching programs, such as intensity. Objective: To investigate the acute …

Passive and active stretching techniques have been shown to increase both chronic and
acute range of motion (ROM). Acute ROM improvements can be countered by decreases in
muscle performance, primarily after prolonged static stretching (SS) and proprioceptive …

Introdução: Exercícios de alongamento são incluídos em programas de treinamento e
reabilitação, no sentido de melhorar a flexibilidade de adultos e idosos. No entanto, ainda
não há consenso na literatura acerca das recomendações para prescrição do alongamento …

different stretching intensities on flexibility and mechanical properties of plantar flexors. J …

TO THE EDITOR: This letter is in regard to the last review about fascia and its force
transmission capacity written by Wilke et al.(3). I am writing to extend the information about
an increase in fascial tissue stiffness after stretching, which previously has been based on …

Traditionally, the performance of flexibility is measured by the maximum range of motion
(ROMMAX). This physical capacity is inserted in several contexts, rehabilitation
musculoskeletal injuries and sports practice. Although flexibility is fundamental in several …
