Static Stretching and Human Movement: An Integrative Biomechanical Framework

2026-07-30

Abstract excerpt

Static stretching is widely used in sports medicine, rehabilitation, and exercise science to improve joint range of motion (ROM) and flexibility. However, its effects on human movement remain incompletely understood because previous research has primarily examined individual outcomes—including ROM, passive stiffness, force production, power output, stretch–shortening cycle function, jumping performance, landing bi...
