Our article is finally out! The longest stretching intervention to date lead by @mamoltub investigating the effects of static stretching on muscle-tendon morphological and mechanical properties, neural activation, and contractile function. @nih_sognsvann

For the past 20 years we have been told that static stretching before exercise can reduce muscle strength, power and balance 🏃🏽 ECU Professor of Biomechanics, Anthony Blazevich, believes this view to be outdated: https://t.co/1LgXJtVVaD

@GregLehman Thanks for the interest in my research! The main paper has now been resubmitted after revision, hopefully available shortly.

[Marie Moltubakk @mamoltub]

@AdamMeakins Umm no, most dancers cannot quit stretching. They are just changing towards more active/dynamic modalities, particularly in warm up. Static stretching often remains in specific phases of dancer workout and long term periodisation. @TonyBlazevich

For the defense of my PhD thesis I was required to give an ultra-short 30-minute summary, before I was questioned by renowned experts in the field. The video of my defense is now available on YouTube. Please post… https://t.co/uU5iy7L4jI

@GregLehman @simensletten There's your PhD project. :) Forces, strains++ on misc MTU components, with misc modalities, was in my project description. Seeing that pro ballet dancers do not seem to have stiffer Achilles tendons, I guess that stretching alone isn't a sufficient stimulus. Add loading rate??

[Marie Moltubakk @mamoltub]

@GregLehman @simensletten It is possible that our indirect measurements are overestimated, that the tendon stiffness methods do not have sufficient sensitivity... But also, perceived pain during self-administered stretches was less than during the tests, so the daily strain was probably less than 12‰.

[Marie Moltubakk @mamoltub]

@GregLehman @simensletten Thanks a lot for the feedback! Tendon strain measurements seem to vary quite a bit with method... Need to find short tendons or a huge US probe to catch all in one field of view. With our methods we had individual strain values up to approximately 12% during maximal stretches.
