    El aumento en el rango de movilidad articular después de una sesión de estiramientos se atribuye normalmente a cambios estructurales del músculo, sin embargo, es más probable que se deba a adaptaciones nociceptivas. https://t.co/ebgFHKoBI1

Abstract Synopsis

  • A study examined how a six-week static stretching program affects the gastrocnemius medialis muscle and Achilles tendon.
  • 49 volunteers participated, split into stretching and control groups, with various measurements taken before and after the program.
  • The intervention group showed a significant increase in dorsiflexion range of motion, but no structural or functional changes were observed in the muscle-tendon unit, suggesting the improvement may relate to enhanced stretch tolerance rather than structural adaptations.
