Stretching

Area of Science:

Sports Science
Physiotherapy
Biomechanics

Context:

Despite widespread use in sports and physiotherapy, the scientific understanding of stretching is incomplete.
Flexibility assessment, and the anatomical and physiological underpinnings of stretching are crucial areas of study.
Limitations of stretching require further investigation.

Purpose:

To provide a comprehensive overview of the scientific basis of stretching.
To discuss the effects of stretching on muscle soreness, performance, and recovery.
To offer evidence-based recommendations for various stretching protocols.

Summary:

This article examines the anatomical and physiological aspects of stretching, including its limitations.
It explores the impact of stretching on delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), athletic performance, and regeneration.

Related Experiment Videos
