Effect of static stretching duration on modulation of H‐reflex and tendon‐reflex excitability of the soleus muscle in young men [PDF]
Physiological ReportsStretching‐induced impairments of muscle performance are attributed to neural adaptations and mechanical changes. Inhibition of muscle spindle sensitivity appears to have long‐lasting effects after stretching.

Transient Increase in Cortical Excitability Following Static Stretching of Plantar Flexor Muscles
Frontiers in Physiology, 2018 Spinal excitability in humans is inhibited by both passively holding a static position with the muscle lengthened (static stretching) and by a single non-active lengthening movement.

Dynamic stretching versus static stretching in gymnastic performance [PDF]
Journal of Human Sport and Exercise, 2015 Different types of stretching techniques are commonly performed in the gymnastic training sessions. Flexibility is one of the essential aspects of this sport like so the explosive strength but actually there is a limited literature assessing the effectiveness of the specific technique to increase the range of motion and, at the same time, to improve ...

Association between static stretching load and changes in the flexibility of the hamstrings
Scientific Reports, 2021 The purpose of the present study was to examine the association between static stretching load and changes in the flexibility of the hamstrings. Twelve healthy men received static stretching for 60 s at two different intensities based on the point of ...

Static and dynamic properties of stretched water [PDF]
The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2001 We present the results of molecular dynamics simulations of the extended simple point charge model of water to investigate the thermodynamic and dynamic properties of stretched and supercooled water. We locate the liquid–gas spinodal, and confirm that the spinodal pressure increases monotonically with T, supporting thermodynamic scenarios for the phase
