The Effects of Inter-set Stretching on Muscle Performance

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Healthy

In brief

Static passive muscle stretching, performed weekly, can increase muscle flexibility and range of motion. Typically, static stretching is performed either before starting specific exercises or at the end of a workout. However, the effects of static passive stretching when performed during sets are still not entirely clear in terms of performance. This study aims to evaluate the effects of inter-set stretching on muscle performance
