Background Acute improvement in range of motion (ROM) is a widely reported effect of
stretching and foam rolling, which is commonly explained by changes in pain threshold …

The mechanisms underlying range of motion enhancements via flexibility training discussed
in the literature show high heterogeneity in research methodology and study findings. In …

This study investigated the impact of active rest intervals within a lower body complex
training session on post-activation performance enhancement (PAPE) response in amateur …

Over the last decade, acute increases in range of motion (ROM) in response to foam rolling
(FR) have been frequently reported. Compared to stretching, FR-induced ROM increases …

Introduction: This study examined the effects of blood flow restriction (BFR) and reperfusion
on the mechanical properties of the rectus femoris muscle at rest (frequency and stiffness) …

The purpose of this study was to compare the acute effects of back squat exercise with or
without elastic band on countermovement jump performance. Thirteen collegiate male …

Low-load blood flow restriction training (BFRT) has been shown to induce a significant
increase in muscle activation. However, low-load BFRT to augment the post-activation …

Knowledge about the acute effects of supramaximal-loaded resistance exercises on muscle
mechanical properties is scarce. Therefore, this study aimed to examine changes in …

This study aimed to investigate the effects of performing either eccentric‐only (ECC) or
eccentric‐concentric (ECC‐CON) back squats (BS) with a supramaximal load on …

Purpose Evidence directly comparing the effects of bilateral and unilateral conditioning
activities is limited. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the acute effect of …
