Insufficient flexibility and high stiffness are important reasons for it. Stretching is often used in …

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

Flexibility refers to the intrinsic properties of body tissues that determine maximal joint range
of motion without causing injury. For many years, flexibility has been classified by the …
