    Static Stretching Decreases Strength

    According to this article http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/02/sp...=4&oref=slogin , static stretching decreases muscular strength by as much as 30%. However, dynamic stretches does not and is the only correct way to warm up. What's your take on this?

    Hotly debated topic.

    Personally, I don't stretch before a workout. And I only do dynamic stretches before a game or practice.

    I can say from personal experience, static stretching does nothing good for your workout. It made me tired faster, and therefore weaker workouts.

    I agree. So what dynamic stretches do you use to warm up your biceps and triceps?

    None, specifically for bi's or tri's. When I warm up for a game, I do my A steps, B steps, punter steps, and some lunges for my legs. As well as take half a lap around the field to warm up.

    For upper body, I do some washing machines, and one or two truck rotations just to loosen my back, but doing too many gives me the same effect static stretching does, it just makes me feel tired and weak.

    Then I'll usually just get into a D-Line stance, even though I'm a linebacker primarily, and do a couple get offs and fire out quickly, and that'll just get me ready to play.

    I also do some shuffles, work on my catching, and my longsnapping before a game. And that's basically everything I do to warm up.

    The science and practices of coaching have been pretty clear on this since the mid-90s. In fact alot of coaches do static stretches to weaken specific muscles (ala Joe D).


    As for bis and tris, why would you ever need to warm up either directly. If it's in the gym you will have most likely done rows, pull, presses etc before any direct arm work.

    Static stretching destabilizes the muscles thus resulting in decreased power output, increased injury risk etc.

    Brilliant S&C coaches, who have athletes or head coaches who "must," static stretch prior to training, have been allowing them to static stretch then taking them through a restabilization phase. Alot of them do this without the head coach or atheletes really knowing, and it eliminates the negative effects of the static stretching making it as if they where never even performed.

    The results in the study could stand only for isometric and isokinetic dynamometry, rather than for any other testing modality (1RM, vertical jump or running speed). Also, the reader must be aware that the volume of stretching is a major factor.

    I haven't seen the study, because I don't have the access to the NY Time database, but I'll throw majors evidences and explanation.

    The mechanisms responsible for the reduced strength production after an acute static stretching exercise are not yet clarified. Stretch-induced strength deficit has been attributed to the musculotendinous system's length increase and muscle stiffness reduction.

    Kokkonen, J, Nelson, AG, and Cornwell, A. Acute muscle stretching inhibits maximal strength performance. Res Q Exerc Sport 69(4): 411-415, 1998.

    Magnusson, SP, Simonsen, EB, Aagaard, P, and Kjaer, M. Biomechanical responses to repeated stretches in human hamstring muscle in vivo. Am J Sports Med 24: 622-628, 1996.

    Wilson, GJ, Wood, GA, and Elliot, BC. The relationship between stiffness of the musculature and static flexibility: An alternative explanation for the occurrence of muscular injury. Int J Sports Med 12: 401-407, 1991.

    Now, if we look at new modality like VJP(Vertical Jump Performance).

    Lower volumes of acute static stretching can be performed without significantly compromising maximal force production. Strength and conditioning professionals can safely administer up to 1 minute of static stretching per muscle group to athletes in sports that require high levels of force production as long as the athlete has at least 4 minutes of rest after the stretch. The results also apply to recreational athletes and coaches because of the various groups tested in the study.

    Could you please explain ? I don't see how a ''restabilization'' can be used. What do you mean by restabilization phase ? I suggest that during the ''restabilization phase'' used by some strengh coach. The muscle temperature droped and the H reflex deacrease his sensibility.

    The cause with any drecrease in performance is mainly an motor neuron excitability. Also, I would like to see study proving your claim or at least the method used.

    30%? So If I was squatting 300 pounds max, I'd suddenly drop to 210?
    Likely less than that.

    That being said, dynamic always pre workout, always.
    static post workout.

    Dynamic stretching has shown to excite the nervous system for movement.

    Arm Circles
    trunk twists
    Leg swings (forward/backward)
    Leg swings (across/body)
    body weight squats
    etc etc etc...

    Running drills like high knees butt kicks etc are considered a dynamic stretch also.

    Static stretching is great for flexibility but does not excite the body. Yeah your muscles will be stretched but due to a stretch hold, it inhibits the muscle from being at it's full potential power out put.

    Static stretching is great for after the workout. Your body is warm so now you can work on static stretching those troubled muscles. Most athletes I deal with have hip/hamstring flexibility issues.

    Static stretching is also great to just relax the body after a workout and help break up some of the wastes that were produced during the workout.


    Both stretching techniques have their places. Both being used, dynamic before, static after will ensure you a better workout, a better recovery and an overall better performance.


    That's what I have learned.

    My Senior strength and conditioning lecturer MSc CSCS UKSCA said it. I'll be happy to email him and ask how he would perform a restabilzation phase and what the exact physiological responses are. Are there any other specific questions which you would like me to put forward?

    I am a proponent of dynamic-warmup prior to activity, however, according to the most recent study there was no variable amongst strength output (injury prevention is a different story however). IMO, strength-endurance should be a factor to be tested in the future.


    Pretesting Static and Dynamic Stretching Does Not Affect Maximal Strength.

    Original Research
    Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research. 22(6):1838-1843, November 2008.
    Beedle, Barry; Rytter, Scott J; Healy, Ryan C; Ward, Tara R

    Abstract:
    Beedle, B, Rytter, SJ, Healy, RC, and Ward, TR. Pretesting static and dynamic stretching does not affect maximal strength. J Strength Cond Res 22(6): 1838-1843, 2008-The purpose of this study was to determine whether there was a significant difference in static stretching (SS), dynamic stretching (DS), and no stretching (NS) on maximal strength (one-repetition maximum [1RM]) in the bench and leg presses using free weights on 19 college-aged men and 32 women. Most of the participants were moderately to very active and had previous experience with weight training. The design was repeated measures, with each treatment being randomly assigned. Each testing session was separated by 72 hours. Moderate-intensity stretching was defined as stretching as far as possible without any assistance, and subjects were encouraged to do their best. For the SS routine, the chest, shoulder, triceps, quadriceps, and hamstrings were stretched. Three repetitions were performed for 15 seconds, each separated by a 10-second rest. For DS, the upper-body stretch was swinging each arm, one at a time, as far forward and then as far backward as possible in a diagonal plane. For the legs, the same movement was done for each leg, except performed in a sagittal plane. Each forward and backward movement took about 2 seconds. Three 30-second sets were administered, and a 10-second rest was allowed between sets. Next, 1RM was determined for the bench and leg presses in random order. Two warm-up sets were given, followed by several 1RM attempts. The last successful lift was recorded as the 1RM. Data were reported using means +/- SD. A one-way ANOVA with repeated measures was used with alpha set at 0.05. There was no significant difference among the treatments. Moderate-intensity stretching does not seem to adversely affect 1RM in the bench and leg presses.

    1)They used two warm-up set and they used very active subjects.
    2)They just tested the Bench press and the Leg press, maybe in the Squat things would be differents. Even if the Leg press and the Squat share similar pattern.

    Like I said in my first post, the modality have to be in relation with the athletes, if they're not, its useless. Also, the volume of stretching is the most important factor, in the study you just posted, the volume is pretty low. Older studies have conclued the results, low volume static stretching doesn't affect 1RM performance.

    yes it's true,you should do dynamic stretches pre-work-out and static stretches only after the work-out to avoid injuries.

    If this is true, why do NFL players static stretch before a game?

    static stretching isn't bad if your muscle is TIGHT. We can sit around all day and talk about force output, but that won't mean **** when you blow out a hammy. Seriously guys.... STRETCH... dynamically before, statically after.

    All trainers use static stretches.... there are problem areas in atheletes and they can cause postural problems. For myself, I forcus my stretching on my pecs, deep glutes, hip flexors, and hamstrings, as they tend to get very tight.
