Summary

Stretching is reported to decrease muscle strength and thus suggested to be avoided prior to athletic events but with conflicting reports. This time course study aimed to assess acute effects of static stretching of different durations on isometric maximum voluntary contraction force of calf muscle.

Conditions

  • Muscle Strength

Interventions

OTHER

Muscle Static Stretching

Static stretching for 2 minutes (SS2), static stretching for 4 minutes (SS4), and static stretching for 8 minutes (SS8). Each static stretching (SS) trial involved varied repetitions of 30-seconds self-stretches and 20-seconds relax periods.
