“…Studies have reported increased range of motion without changes in muscle fascicle length (Konrad and Tilp, 2014;Lima et al 2015). Increased range of motion could be associated with neural (Magnusson et al 1996;Guissard and Duchateau 2006) and/or mechanical muscle changes (Fowles et al 2000).…”

“…If there is an increase in ROM, but no shift (to the right) of the length/tension curve is observed, the only reasonable explanation for such enhancement in ROM is modification in the perception of stretching [30], but it remains unknown whether this is a peripheral and/or central adaptation though [30]. Even though the increase in stretching tolerance itself still needs to be better understood, several recent studies using ultrasonography images have established this as a real mechanism for increased flexibility [26,27,38,40]. A recent investigation [41] has proposed that the reason why several investigations have not found a decrease in MTU stiffness following stretching is that there might be an interference of other structures such as nerves and fascia.…”

“…Several investigations are suggesting that the increased flexibility generally seen after chronic stretching is related to an increased stretch tolerance [26,38,39], which is defined as an increase in passive torque at end ROM observed in the length/tension curve [30]. If there is an increase in ROM, but no shift (to the right) of the length/tension curve is observed, the only reasonable explanation for such enhancement in ROM is modification in the perception of stretching [30], but it remains unknown whether this is a peripheral and/or central adaptation though [30].…”
