Acute effects of muscle stretching on physical performance, range of motion, and injury incidence in healthy active individuals: a systematic review
Recently, there has been a shift from static stretching (SS) or proprioceptive neuromuscular
facilitation (PNF) stretching within a warm-up to a greater emphasis on dynamic stretching …
