Can apparent increases in muscle extensibility with regular stretch be explained by changes in tolerance to stretch?
The aim of this study was to determine whether an intensive stretch program increases muscle extensibility or subjects' tolerance to an uncomfortable stretch sensation. Twenty healthy able-bodied individuals with limited hamstring muscle extensibility were recruited. A within-subjects design was used whereby one leg of each subject was randomly allocated to the experimental condition and the ot...
متن کاملLower hamstring extensibility in men compared to women is explained by differences in stretch tolerance
BACKGROUND This study examined whether passive hamstring tissue stiffness and/or stretch tolerance explain the relationship between sex and hamstring extensibility. METHODS Ninety healthy participants, 45 men and 45 women (mean ± SD; age 24.6 ± 5.9 years, height 1.72 ± 0.09 m, weight 74.6 ± 14.1 kg) volunteered for this study. The instrumented straight leg raise was used to determine hamstrin...

متن کاملEffects of a Novel Neurodynamic Tension Technique on Muscle Extensibility and Stretch Tolerance: A Counterbalanced Crossover Study.
CONTEXT Neurodynamic tension affects hamstring extensibility and stretch tolerance and is considered important in hamstring injury management. Neurodynamic tension was postulated to affect segmental muscle extensibility and stretch tolerance and potentially also to demonstrate extrasegmental and contralateral effects. OBJECTIVES To assess the effects of a novel sciatic-tibial neurodynamic ten...
متن کاملFunctions of Stretch Activation in Heart Muscle
Correspondence to Kenneth B. Campbell: [email protected] Stretch activation is an intrinsic length-sensing mechanism that allows muscle to function with an autonomous regulation that reduces reliance on extrinsic regulatory systems. This autonomous regulation is most dramatic in asynchronous insect fl ight muscle and gives rise to wing beat frequencies that exceed the frequency capacity o...
