Do pre-exercise routines influence achilles tendon biomechanics? A cross-over study

The debate surrounding the efficacy of stretching and warm-up routines in injury prevention continues to persist within the realm of sports science. One key area of interest is the impact of these preparatory exercises on the biomechanical properties of the Achilles tendon. In 2011, a study aimed by Park, et. al., to explore whether warm-up exercises exert a more significant influence on Achilles tendon biomechanics … Continue reading Do pre-exercise routines influence achilles tendon biomechanics?

Can hamstring stretching enhance running biomechanics?

In the world of sports and fitness, flexibility and proper biomechanics play a crucial role in performance and injury prevention. Hamstring flexibility is of particular interest, as limited flexibility in this muscle group can affect an individual’s running gait. One common method used to improve hamstring flexibility is preactivity static straight-leg raise stretching. However, the question arises: does this method have any immediate impact on … Continue reading Can hamstring stretching enhance running biomechanics?
