“…Several studies consisting of randomized controlled trials for this combination therapy have been conducted; however, the majority of the subjects in those studies were healthy adults and the evidence supporting the effectiveness of combination therapy for muscle contracture is unclear [15][16][17][18][19][20] . Moreover, the specific effect of combination therapy on intramuscular collagen related to the mechanisms underlying muscle contracture was not proven in the present study.…”

“…Several studies consisting of randomized controlled trials involving prolonged stretching and thermotherapy with respect to the limitation of ROM have been conducted; however, the results obtained so far are controversial [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] . Data from animal experiments suggest that the application of intermittent stretching for 30 min per day provides adequate stimulus for the prevention of ROM limitation 21) .…”

“…Com o aumento da temperatura intramuscular, o tecido conectivo cede mais facilmente ao alongamento e a sensibilidade dos órgãos tendinosos de Golgi aumenta (o que leva a uma maior inibição muscular) 59 . Para além disso, o aquecimento também minimiza a probabilidade de microtraumas aos tecidos moles durante o alongamento e, desse modo, pode diminuir a dor muscular tardia que ocorre após os exercícios 60,61,62,63 . O aquecimento pode ser conseguido com calor superficial ou profundo aplicado aos tecidos moles antes ou durante o alongamento.…”

“…O seu uso prévio em programas de alongamentos é sugerido por proporcionar melhores resultados na flexibilidade e diminuir o desconforto durante as sessões de alongamento 1,9,10 . A implementação clínica do calor é sugerida por aumentar a extensibilidade das fibras colágenas, favorecendo o relaxamento das propriedades mecânicas do músculo 1, 9,10 . Crioterapia é o termo que se refere à aplicação de frio sobre o organismo, com fins terapêuticos, geralmente, empregada no tratamento da dor em afecções musculoesqueléticas agudas, processos inflamatórios e contraturas musculares 11,12 .…”
