An objective of a warm-up prior to an athletic event is to optimize performance. Warm-ups
are typically composed of a submaximal aerobic activity, stretching and a sport-specific …

INTRODUCTION: The benefits of preexercise muscle stretching have been recently
questioned after reports of significant poststretch reductions in force and power production …

We applied a meta‐analytical approach to derive a robust estimate of the acute effects of pre‐
exercise static stretching (SS) on strength, power, and explosive muscular performance. A …

In today's competitive sport environment, discovering effective methods of facilitating optimal
athletic performance is paramount to success. The recovery period is essential in …

Middle-aged individuals may not respond in a similar manner as younger individuals. The
study's objective was to examine the effect of static (SS) and dynamic stretching (DS) in …

Abstract Head and Neck Cancer (HNC) is a globally rare cancer that includes a variety of
