A study is conducted to examine whether a static stretching (SS) routine decreased isometric force, muscle activation and jump power while improving range of motion (ROM) and to compare the duration of dependent variable changes with the duration of the change in ROM. The conclusion states that parallel duration of changes in ROM and quadriceps isometric force might suggest an association between stretches induced changes in muscle compliance and isometric force output.

A study is performed to examine the effect of an acute bout of lower limb static stretching on balance, proprioception, reaction and movement time. The findings indicate that there were no significant differences in the decrease in MVC between the stretch and control conditions or in the ability to match sub maximal forces.
