“…Flexibility has traditionally been examined using indirect ROM measurements defined separately as ‘flexibility’ and ‘stretch tolerance’,60 while recent technological developments have allowed direct measurements of FL 58. In this review, we considered studies which have evaluated any of these measurements before and after eccentric training as a measure of ‘flexibility’.…”

“…Muscles trained eccentrically could induce structure adaptations through increased sarcomeres in series, allowing muscle length increases. 44 Another benefit of eccentric training is an increase in muscle stiffness, which improves the viscoelastic muscletendon unit's absorption and utilization of elastic energy, thereby providing resistance to potential disruption and enhancing injury prevention. 45 …”

Objective: The purpose of this case report is to describe the evaluation and conservative management of an isolated posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) tear. Clinical Features: A 32-year-old man with a traumatic right knee injury after tripping was initially diagnosed with medial patellar retinaculum tear at a multidisciplinary clinic. The patient received physiotherapy but reinjured the knee after returning to the sports field 3 weeks later. Subsequent clinical testing and magnetic resonance imaging confirmed a grade II isolated PCL tear. Intervention and Outcome: Following the PCL tear diagnosis, a multimodal treatment approach over the course of 8 weeks consisting of chiropractic lumbopelvic manipulation, physiotherapy, and an exercise program emphasizing eccentric muscle action was implemented. Lunges, 1-leg squats, and trunk stabilization exercises were extensively used. Three months postinjury, the patient successfully returned to sports activity with no further complications. Conclusion: The patient in this case report demonstrated successful return to preinjury functional status. This case highlights a multidisciplinary approach through the utilization of chiropractic, physiotherapy, and exercise therapies.

“…Considering this reality the performance of stretching exercises both in the practice of sports as in rehabilitation centers is frequent 3 . The practice of stretching exercises promotes some benefits such as improved athletic performance and functional gains in addition to the maintenance of health and fitness 4,5 . The main stretching techniques are: static stretching, ballistic stretching and contract-relax stretching 6 .…”

Objetivou-se, por meio deste estudo, comparar o efeito de três técnicas de alongamento muscular (balístico, estático e contrai-relaxa) no ganho imediato de flexibilidade dos músculos isquiotibiais. Foram avaliados 23 sujeitos, de ambos os gêneros [média (DP) idade 21,17 (1,4)]. Todos os voluntários realizaram o alongamento estático, o balístico e o contrai-relaxa. Cada técnica foi realizada em sessão única com intervalo de sete dias entre as sessões. Para avaliar os efeitos imediatos das diferentes técnicas, realizaram-se, antes e após a série de alongamentos, os testes de flexibilidade Sentar e Alcançar e o Teste do Ângulo Poplíteo. Em comparação à linha de base, houve aumento significativo de flexibilidade para o teste do Ângulo Poplíteo após aplicação do alongamento balístico (6,26%) e contrai-relaxa (6,5%), respectivamente (p<0,05). Ao contrair-relaxar as três técnicas em relação ao escore de mudança, encontrou-se diferença considerável no teste do Ângulo Poplíteo para os alongamentos balístico e contrair-relaxar, porém, o Teste Sentar e Alcançar não apresentou relevância. De acordo com esses dados, as técnicas balísticas e -contrair-relaxar foram melhores que a técnica de alongamento estático, e ambas as técnicas mostraram-se igualmente efetivas. As técnicas de alongamento balístico e contrair-relaxar melhoraram a flexibilidade dos músculos isquiotibiais.
