Abstract in brief

This study compares the effects of high-intensity static stretching (HISS) and low-intensity static stretching (LISS) on the ankle muscles (plantar flexors) in young men over four weeks.
HISS was found to be more effective than LISS in improving joint flexibility (range of motion) and reducing muscle stiffness, but neither method significantly impacted muscle strength, jump height, or muscle structure.
Overall, engaging in high-intensity static stretching can enhance flexibility and reduce muscle stiffness, but does not necessarily lead to muscle growth or strength gains.]
