Increasing muscle strength and cross-sectional area is of crucial importance to improve or
maintain physical function in musculoskeletal rehabilitation and sports performance …

Stretch training is widely used in a variety of fitness‐related capacities such as increasing
joint range of motion, preventing contractures and alleviating injuries. Moreover, some …

Time is considered a primary barrier to exercise adherence. Therefore, developing time-
efficient resistance training (RT) strategies that optimize muscular adaptations is of primary …

The purpose of this study was to evaluate differences in changes in muscle strength and
muscle thickness (MT) of the plantar flexor muscles between traditional resistance training …

Does stretching training influence muscular strength? A systematic review with meta …

The utility of flexibility as a standard component of physical fitness has recently been
questioned, sparking a heated debate among scientists. More specifically, it has recently …

Treatment strategies and training regimens, which induce longitudinal muscle growth and
increase the muscles' length range of active force exertion, are important to improve muscle …

Introduction An increasing number of studies investigate the influence of training
interventions on muscle thickness (MT) by using ultrasonography. Ultrasonography is stated …

Performing static stretching (SS) during resistance training (RT) rest periods is posited to
potentiate muscular adaptations, but the literature is scarce on the topic. Thus, the purpose …

The study examined the effects of adding a loaded stretch in the inter-set rest period (ISS)
compared to traditional resistance training (TR) on muscular adaptations in resistance …
