joshuago’s flexibility Bookmarks

This article reviews static stretching’s impact on muscle‑tendon mechanics, strength, and performance. Findings suggest moderate durations can improve range of motion, though excessive pre‑activity stretching may transiently reduce force production, influencing warm‑up strategies.

This meta‑analysis reviews SMR tools (foam rollers, balls) for ROM, soreness, and performance. Findings support modest gains in flexibility and recovery, recommending brief, targeted applications before training or during cool‑down.

This interactive tool helps adults schedule weekly moderate and vigorous minutes, strength sessions, and flexibility activities. Trainers can co‑create plans, track progress, and align client routines with national health objectives for better adherence.
