Flexibility: Day of the Static Stretch

The Physician and Sportsmedicine, 1979
Even with all the attention now given to stretching exercises, many experts say our athletes are too tight. Physicians can help by telling their patients both the why and how of flexibility exercises.

Dynamic and static hysteresis in crayfish stretch receptors

Biological Cybernetics, 1985
This report calls attention to the magnitude and pervasiveness of hysteresis in the coding from length to afferent discharges in crayfish stretch receptor organs (SRO's). The influence of previous lengths on the rate that corresponded to a particular length L was manifest by a substantial excess of that encountered when L was arrived at from a shorter ...

Static progressive stretch for the treatment of knee stiffness

The Knee, 2008
Persistent knee stiffness is common after knee arthroplasties, cruciate ligament repairs, and trauma. Static progressive stretch protocols have shown success in treating contractures of the elbow, ankle, and knee in case reports and small case series. This study evaluated static progressive stretch as a treatment method for patients who had refractory ...

Chronic Static Stretching Improves Exercise Performance

Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 2007
This study investigated the influence of static stretching exercises on specific exercise performances.Thirty-eight volunteers participated in this study. The stretching group (STR) consisted of 8 males and 11 females whose activity was limited to a 10-wk, 40-min, 3-d.wk(-1) static stretching routine designed to stretch all the major muscle groups in ...

Verification of the superiority of radiofrequency irradiation with static stretching over static stretching alone for hamstring tightness

Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies
Healthy hamstring muscles are necessary for active living. Hamstring tightness is a widely reported problem among individuals from all levels of society. The effects of combining radiofrequency (RF) therapy with static stretching (SS) on hamstring tightness have not been investigated. Therefore, we aimed to verify the superiority of combining RF and SS

Whole Body Vibration as an Adjunct to Static Stretching

International Journal of Sports Medicine, 2010
This study was a randomized control trial. The purpose of this study was twofold: 1) to determine if stretching the hamstrings during whole-body-vibration (WBV) is more effective than static stretching alone; and 2) to monitor retention of flexibility changes.

Effects of Static Stretch Versus Static Stretch and Ultrasound Combined on Triceps Surae Muscle Extensibility in Healthy Women

Physical Therapy, 1987
The purpose of the study was to demonstrate for the first time on human subjects that static stretch and ultrasound (SS and US) combined increases triceps surae muscle extensibility more than SS alone. The SS and US combined consisted of seven minutes of continuous US at 1.5 W/cm2 to the muscle with SS during the seventh minute.

Acute Effects of Static Stretching on Peak Torque in Women

The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 2004
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of static stretching on concentric, isokinetic leg extension peak torque (PT) at 60 and 240 degrees.s(-1) in the stretched and unstretched limbs. The PT of the dominant (stretched) and nondominant (unstretched) leg extensors were measured on a calibrated Cybex 6000 dynamometer.

Effect of Static Stretching Using Foot Stretching Device in the Elderly: An Interim Report

2020 IEEE 9th Global Conference on Consumer Electronics (GCCE), 2020
The exerciser “Relegs,” a home-use rehabilitation device, was modified such that static stretching could be performed. In this study, the effect of static stretching for foot using the modified device was evaluated in twelve healthy elderly people. After stretching, the passive dorsiflexion angle of the foot increased significantly and the stretched ...
