| 2 | Effect of a 10-Week Stretching Program of the Triceps Surae Muscle Architecture and Tendon Mechanical Properties显示文摘Purpose The present study aimed to test if a long-term passive stretching training causes adaptations of the medial gastroc-nemius architecture and the Achilles tendon (AT) tangent modulus.Methods A total of 20 males took part in the study.The stretching group (n =12),performed stretching exercises for the plantar flexors for 10 weeks,4-5 times a week,which comprised two static positions sustained twice each during 30 s.Results For the stretching group,maximum dorsiflexion angle,peak passive torque,and muscle-tendon unit maximum length significantly increased after training.No other differences were found related to muscle architecture and AT tangent modulus.Conclusion Joint amplitude gain after a long-term stretching of the triceps surae was not accompanied by structural or mechanical changes of the medial gastrocnemius and AT tendon,and seems to reflect an increasing stretch tolerance level. | Carolina C.Peixinho Gabriel A.Silva Maria Clara A.Brandão Luciano L.Menegaldo Liliam F.de Oliveira | 2021 | Journal of Science in Sport and Exercise2021，3，2： | 0 |
