Abstract in brief

  • This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated how static stretching (both single sessions and multiple sessions) affects various factors like stretch tolerance, passive stiffness, and fascicle length, which contribute to improvements in joint range of motion (ROM).
  • The study analyzed data from 65 research articles involving 1542 adults and found that both acute and chronic static stretching slightly decrease muscle stiffness, while chronic stretching notably increases the maximum passive torque the muscles can tolerate before resisting, helping to improve flexibility.
  • The review also explored how training parameters and participant characteristics influence these effects, indicating that mechanisms such as decreased stiffness and increased stretch tolerance are likely responsible for ROM improvements following static stretching.
