“…For each MU, 2 parameters were extracted from the firing rate data: (1) recruitment (REC) thresholds [expressed relative to MVC (%MVC)]; and (2) peak firing rate (PFR) at the targeted contraction level during the first, middle, and final seconds of the steady force segment (pps). A 1,000‐ms Hanning window was used to smooth the mean firing rate (MFR) curve (Fig. ).…”

“…However, other studies indicate that the time of exposure to muscle stretching also influences the absolute strength. Ye et al (15) found a decrease in static absolute strength for the biceps brachii after a 100 second static muscle stretch. Arruda et al (16) , submitted 11 young men to passive stretching statically for 40 seconds and found strength reduction in the 10RM test when compared to the group that only performed warm-up.…”

“…Finally, it is essential to point out that our findings and those of the works cited here refer to techniques that do not use Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF). That is because studies show controversial results when using PNF, in which shorter exposure times caused substantial decreases in resistance strength and strength (15) . In short, we believe that any flexibility technique (including PNF) that reaches the plastic phase of the muscle, applied immediately before RT, results in decreased resistance force impacting the subject's acute performance.…”

Antecedentes: O alongamento muscular é frequentemente aplicado como preparação para o treinamento de resistência, no entanto, uma literatura diverge quanto à sua resposta à força de resistência muscular. Objetivo: mostrar se a intensidade e o tempo de alongamento modificam a força da resistência. Métodos: O estudo inclui 30 homens jovens saudáveis, com 22 ± 2,5 anos de idade, praticando exercícios neuromusculares há menos de seis meses. Os participantes fizeram um teste de previsão de carga máxima (MLPT) no supino e após uma semana retornaram ao sorteio e execução do: Stretch Protocol (SP) - 60 segundos na amplitude máxima sem assistência; Protocolo de Flexão (FP) - 60 segundos de acompanhamento com assistência externa;e Protocolo de Base (PA) - exercício imediato. Todos os participantes passaram por todos os protocolos sempre realizados em segundas-feiras, realizando como repetições máximas com 70% da carga utilizada no MLPT. Para comparar os resultados dos diferentes dias de coleta, foi usado um ANOVA com TUKEY post-hoc. Todas as análises adotaram um valor de p≤0,05 como significativo. Resultados: a PA apresenta resultados maiores do que no SP e FP. Não houve diferença estatística entre SP e FP. Conclusão: 60 segundos de alongamento muscular passivo causam uma diminuição da força de resistência muscular, a redução de intensidade.

“…Ye et al . (2016) measured motor unit activity during trapezoidal contractions at 30% and 70% MVC torque before and after 12 repetitions of 100 s stretch (20 s rest) of the biceps brachii. However, MVC torque was assessed immediately after the stretch protocol and was significantly reduced relative to before stretching.…”

support-information-section). Key pointsr Repeated static-stretching interventions consistently increase the range of motion about a joint and decrease total joint stiffness, but findings on the changes in muscle and connective-tissue properties are mixed.r The influence of these stretch-induced changes on muscle function at submaximal forces is unknown. To address this gap in knowledge, the changes in neural drive to the plantar flexor muscles after a static-stretch intervention were estimated.r Neural drive to the plantar flexor muscles during a low-force contraction increased after repeated static stretches.r These findings suggest that adjustments in motor unit activity are necessary at low forces to accommodate reductions in the force-generating and transmission capabilities of the muscle-tendon unit after repeated static stretches of the calf muscles.
