Abstract in brief

The systematic review explores whether eccentric training (a type of muscle exercise) can improve flexibility in the lower limbs, as previous research showed mixed results with stretching.
Six clinical trials were analyzed, and they consistently showed that eccentric training can enhance flexibility, measured by joint range of motion and muscle fascicle length, across different muscle groups.
The findings suggest that eccentric training is a promising way to increase lower limb flexibility, but more research is needed to compare its effectiveness to static stretching and other exercises.]
