Effects of Neural Load on Hamstring Stretching upon Flexibility, Maximum Isometric Strength, and Tibial Nerve Pressure Pain Threshold in Healthy Subjects: A Randomized Clinical Trial

open access: yesApplied Sciences
(1) Background: Stretching has been shown to improve flexibility, muscle activation, and coordination, but its effects may depend on neural tension during the stretch.

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

Polymer Stretching by Turbulence

open access: yes, 2000
The stretching of a polymer chain by a large scale chaotic flow is considered. The steady state which emerges as a balance of the turbulent stretching and anharmonic resistance of the chain is quantitatively described, i.e.

The Quantum No-Stretching: A geometrical interpretation of the no-cloning theorem [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We consider the ideal situation in which a space rotation is transferred from a quantum spin j to a quantum spin l different from j. Quantum-information theoretical considerations lead to the conclusion that such operation is possible only for lj.

Acute effects of static passive stretching without voluntary contraction of skeletal muscles on arterial stiffness in elderly lacking exercise habits

open access: yesJournal of Physical Fitness and Sports Medicine, 2020
Stretching exercises conducted by oneself, herein referred to as self-stretching exercises, improve arterial stiffness in healthy people. Such exercises include voluntary contraction of peripheral muscles in addition to stretching of target muscles ...

Infrared laser sampling of low volumes combined with shotgun lipidomics reveals lipid markers in palatine tonsil carcinoma

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Nanosecond infrared laser (NIRL) low‐volume sampling combined with shotgun lipidomics uncovers distinct lipidome alterations in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) of the palatine tonsil. Several lipid species consistently differentiate tumor from healthy tissue, highlighting their potential as diagnostic markers.

STRETCHING AND ITS BENEFITS [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of the “Ştefan cel Mare” University: Physical Education and Sport Section - The Science and Art of Movement, 2019
Stretching, one of the most effective ways of improving muscular elasticity and increasing contraction strength, acts especially on the active elements of the locomotor apparatus – muscles - and less on passive elements - tendons, ligaments, bones ...
