How effective is vibration therapy in improving Glenohumeral internal rotation?

In 2016, a study led by W. Steven Tucker and Stephen W. Slone has highlighted the potential benefits of combining proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching with vibration therapy to improve shoulder mobility in athletes suffering from Glenohumeral Internal-Rotation Deficit (GIRD). This condition, commonly affecting overhead athletes, can lead to a reduced range of motion in the shoulder, limiting performance and increasing the risk of injury. … Continue reading How effective is vibration therapy in improving Glenohumeral internal rotation?

Unlocking flexibility: Can eccentric training match static stretching for high school athletes’ hamstring flexibility?

In 2004 a study conducted by Russell T. Nelson and William D. Bandy, et. al., the effectiveness of eccentric training and static stretching in enhancing hamstring flexibility among high school males was thoroughly examined. The objective was to ascertain whether a 6-week eccentric exercise regimen could bring about notable improvements in flexibility. Additionally, the study aimed to compare these changes with those resulting from a … Continue reading Unlocking flexibility: Can eccentric training match static stretching for high school athletes’ hamstring flexibility?

Can foam rolling and static stretching boost hip-flexion range of motion together?

Many athletes seek ways to improve their range of motion (ROM) and flexibility to enhance their performance. Foam rolling has gained popularity for its potential to release muscle tension, and static stretching is a common method for improving flexibility. In 2014, study by Andrew R. Mohr and colleagues aimed to investigate whether combining foam rolling with static stretching could significantly increase passive hip-flexion ROM. This … Continue reading Can foam rolling and static stretching boost hip-flexion range of motion together?

How long does enhanced hamstring flexibility last after static stretching?

In 2000, DePino, et. al., conducted study about Muscle flexibility which is a crucial aspect of overall mobility and physical performance. Static stretching has long been acknowledged for its potential to improve muscle flexibility. While various studies have highlighted the immediate benefits of static stretching, there is a gap in our understanding regarding how long these flexibility gains persist, especially after same-day stretching. In this … Continue reading How long does enhanced hamstring flexibility last after static stretching?
