Bruxism: Is There an Indication for Muscle-Stretching Exercises? [PDF]
The International Journal of Prosthodontics, 2017 Bruxism is a common phenomenon involving repetitive activation of the masticatory muscles. Muscle-stretching exercises are a recommended part of several international guidelines for musculoskeletal disorders and may be effective in management of the jaw muscle activity that gives rise to bruxism.

Acute effects of stretching exercise on the soleus muscle of female aged rats
Acta Histochemica, 2016It has been shown that stretching exercises can improve the flexibility and independence of the elderly. However, although these exercises commonly constitute training programs, the morphological adaptations induced by stretching exercises in aged skeletal muscle are still unclear.To assess the acute effects of passive mechanical static stretching on ...

Stretching to prevent or reduce muscle soreness after exercise
Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2011Many people stretch before or after engaging in athletic activity. Usually the purpose is to reduce risk of injury, reduce soreness after exercise, or enhance athletic performance. This is an update of a Cochrane review first published in 2007.The aim of this review was to determine effects of stretching before or after exercise on the development of ...

Muscle damage induced by stretch-shortening cycle exercise
Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 1998Strenuous stretch-shortening cycle exercise was used as a model to study the leakage of proteins from skeletal muscle.The analysis included serum levels of creatine kinase (S-CK), myoglobin (S-Mb), and carbonic anhydrase (S-CA III). Blood samples from power- (N=11) and endurance-trained (N=10) athletes were collected before, 0, and 2 h after the ...

Akt signaling in skeletal muscle: regulation by exercise and passive stretch
American Journal of Physiology-Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2003Akt/protein kinase B is a serine/threonine kinase that has emerged as a critical signaling component for mediating numerous cellular responses. Contractile activity has recently been demonstrated to stimulate Akt signaling in skeletal muscle. Whether physiological exercise in vivo activates Akt is controversial, and the initiating factors that result ...
