Effects of exhaustive stretch‐shortening cycle exercise on muscle blood flow during exercise

Acta Physiologica, 2006
AbstractAim:  The influence of exhaustive stretch‐shortening cycle exercise (SSC) on skeletal muscle blood flow (BF) during exercise is currently unknown.Methods:  Quadriceps femoris (QF) BF was measured in eight healthy men using positron emission tomography before and 3 days after exhaustive SSC exercise.

PNF stretching and static stretching exercises: Efforts to increase the flexibility of the hamstring muscles in futsal players

Fizjoterapia Polska, 2023
Study Purpose. Poor hamstring muscle flexibility is one of the most common risk factors for hamstring injuries. This is due to tension in the musculotendinus structures which reduces the ability of the muscles to extend rapidly without injury. Therefore, this study aims to prove the effect of using PNF stretching and Static stretching exercises on the ...

Cardiovascular Responses to Skeletal Muscle Stretching: “Stretching” the Truth or a New Exercise Paradigm for Cardiovascular Medicine?

Sports Medicine, 2017
Stretching is commonly prescribed with the intended purpose of increasing range of motion, enhancing muscular coordination, and preventing prolonged immobilization induced by aging or a sedentary lifestyle. Emerging evidence suggests that acute or long-term stretching exercise may modulate a variety of cardiovascular responses.

Acute Effects of Stretching on Muscle Stiffness After a Bout of Exhaustive Eccentric Exercise

International Journal of Sports Medicine, 2007
With the aim to analyze the influence of stretching on muscle stiffness after eccentric exercise, 30 young men (18 - 32 years old), were divided into three groups: STR, undergoing a stretching program (SP) of the dominant quadriceps muscle, ECC, undergoing exhaustive eccentric exercise, and ECC/STR, undergoing eccentric exercise, followed by SP.

Fatigue and muscle–tendon stiffness after stretch–shortening cycle and isometric exercise

Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism, 2006
The purpose of the present study was to compare vertical jump performance after 2 different fatigue protocols. In the first protocol, subjects performed consecutive sets of 10 repetitions of stretch–shortening cycle (SSC) contractions. In the second protocol, successive sets of 10 repetitions of isometric contractions were performed for 10 s with the ...

Dynamics of indirect symptoms of skeletal muscle damage after stretch-shortening exercise

Journal of Electromyography and Kinesiology, 2006
Healthy untrained men (age 20.4+/-1.7 years, n=20) volunteered to participate in an experiment in order to establish dynamics of indirect symptoms of skeletal muscle damage (ISMD) (decrease in maximal isometric voluntary contraction torque (MVCT) and torque evoked by electrostimulation at different frequencies and at different quadriceps muscle length,
