The static stretching protocol will include the following muscle groups of the dominant lower limb: * Gastrocnemius - Participants will assume a bipedal position facing a wall. Then, the leg that is not being stretched will be placed forward, with the knee in semi-flexion, and the leg that is being stretched, behind, with the knee in full extension. Instructions will be given in order to keep the calcaneus on the floor; * Tibialis anterior - Participants will be facing a wall, with the entire foot in touch with the ground and toes pointing forward. Then, they will secure themselves to a handrail and project the hips back. These stretchings will be held in a position where the participants refer discomfort, and will be maintained for 30 seconds or 90 seconds according to the condition.
