Moderate-duration static stretch reduces active and passive plantar flexor moment but not Achilles tendon stiffness or active muscle lengthAnthony D Kay
Sport, Exercise and Life Sciences, The University of Northampton, Northampton, UK
J Appl Physiol 106:1249-56. 2009..Importantly, the impact on mechanical properties and neuromuscular activity was minimal at 30 min poststretch...- Isometric contractions reduce plantar flexor moment, Achilles tendon stiffness, and neuromuscular activity but remove the subsequent effects of stretchAnthony D Kay
Sport, Exercise and Life Sciences, The Univ of Northampton, Park Campus, Boughton Green Rd, Northampton NN2 7AL, UK
J Appl Physiol 107:1181-9. 2009..Importantly, the decrease in Achilles tendon stiffness remained 30 min later, which may be an important etiological factor for muscle-tendon strain injury risk... - Concentric muscle contractions before static stretching minimize, but do not remove, stretch-induced force deficitsAnthony D Kay
Sport, Exercise and Life Sciences, The University of Northampton, Park Campus, Boughton Green Rd, Northampton, NN2 7AL United Kingdom
J Appl Physiol 108:637-45. 2010..Importantly, the different temporal changes in EMG and concentric joint moment indicate that a muscle-based mechanism was likely responsible for the force losses poststretch... - Effect of acute static stretch on maximal muscle performance: a systematic reviewAnthony D Kay
Sport Exercise and Life Sciences, The University of Northampton, Northampton, United Kingdom
Med Sci Sports Exerc 44:154-64. 2012..As no detailed systematic review exists, the literature describing responses to acute static muscle stretch was comprehensively examined...
