Effects of daily static stretch training over 6 weeks on maximal strength, muscle thickness, contraction properties, and flexibility

PurposeStatic stretch training (SST) with long stretching durations seems to be sufficient to increase flexibility, maximum strength (MSt) and muscle thickness (MTh). However, changes in contraction properties and effects on muscle damage remain unclear. Consequently, the objective of the study was...
