Abstract in brief

  • The study found that acute passive stretching did not affect VO2max, but it reduced the time to exhaustion and decreased cycling efficiency when performing heavy-intensity exercise.
  • After stretching, participants experienced a 26% shorter time until exhaustion and an increased oxygen consumption, indicating less efficient muscle use.
  • The results suggest that stretching may impair muscle performance by changing neural activation and the muscle's elastic properties, leading to less effective cycling during intense workouts.]
