PERCEPTIONS AND BENEFITS OF STATIC AND DYNAMIC STRETCHING IN DANCERS: QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE ASPECTS

open access: yesJournal of Physical Education, 2022
The present study investigated the beneficial effects induced on dancers by the two types of stretching protocol: static and dynamic stretching, in order to elevate the aesthetics of the figures and body positions to the highest level.

Patterned Colouring via Variable-Speed Single Stretching

open access: yesInventions, 2022
We demonstrate a cost-effective, highly reliable/stable and environmentally friendly approach for the patterned colouring of a commercial transparent polyethylene terephthalate (PET). We show that different colour patterns (transparent, white/translucent,

Electrospun Fiber as a Facile Means of Studying Silver Nanowires under Mechanical Stretching

open access: yesSmall Science, 2023
It is a great challenge to study the mechanical property of nanomaterials because it is difficult to get a hold of them and apply force. A convenient alternative method via electrospun fibers is shown, where silica‐coated fivefold twinned silver ...

Effect of the inclusion of static stretching in general warming up on muscle strength in Brazilian army military personnel

open access: yesMotriz: Revista de Educacao Fisica, 2021
Aim: Several health professionals prescribe static stretching exercises (SS) as essential for those that practice physical exercises, for injury prevention and performance improvement, although there is still no consensus.

Stretching Homopolymers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Force induced stretching of polymers is important in a variety of contexts. We have used theory and simulations to describe the response of homopolymers, with $N$ monomers, to force ($f$) in good and poor solvents. In good solvents and for {{sufficiently

Stable incremental deformation of a strip to high strain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
This paper presents the effect of combined stretching and bending on the achieved strain in\ud incremental sheet forming ISF. A simple two dimensional model of strip undergoing stretching and\ud travelling three point bending in cyclic form is used.

Muscle Architecture of Gastrocnemius Medialis and Rate of Force Development during Different Stretching Protocols

open access: yesProceedings, 2019
AIM: Rate of force development (RFD) of the leg extensor muscles is important for jumping performance. Static stretching has been shown to reduce explosive force generation, but little is known regarding changes in muscle architectural characteristics ...

Stretching an heteropolymer [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
We study the influence of some quenched disorder in the sequence of monomers on the entropic elasticity of long polymeric chains. Starting from the Kratky-Porod model, we show numerically that some randomness in the favoured angles between successive ...

Differences in Gastrocnemius Muscle Architectural Properties between Child Female Athletes with Different Flexibility Training Backgrounds

open access: yesProceedings, 2019
AIM: Τhe mechanisms underpinning long-term changes in muscle architectural characteristics and joint range of motion (ROM) following static stretching in humans remain under question, and data are sparse for growing athletes. It is possible that the
