![]() ![]() In addition, no effect of post-exercise stretching on 24, 48, or 72-h post-exercise DOMS was noted when compared to passive recovery (ES = -0.09 to -0.24 95% CI = -0.70-0.28 p = 0.187-629 I 2 = 0.0% Egger's test p = 0.165-0.880). Between-group comparisons showed no effect of post-exercise stretching on strength recovery (ES = -0.08 95% CI = -0.54-0.39 p = 0.750 I 2 = 0.0% Egger's test p = 0.531) when compared to passive recovery. Risk of bias was high in ~70% of the studies. Passive recovery (i.e., rest) was used as comparator in eight studies, with additional recovery protocols including low intensity cycling or running, massage, and cold-water immersion. Post-exercise stretching included static stretching, passive stretching, and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation. The exercise protocols varied between studies (e.g., cycling, strength training). Results: From 17,050 records retrieved, 11 RCTs were included for qualitative analyses and 10 for meta-analysis ( n = 229 participants 17-38 years, mostly males). ![]() GRADE was used to assess the methodological quality of the studies. Meta-analyses used the inverse variance random-effects model. Risk of bias was assessed using Cochrane RoB 2. Searches were performed in eight databases. RCTs published in any language or date were eligible, according to P.I.C.O.S. Methods: This systematic review followed PRISMA guidelines (PROSPERO CRD42020222091). Objective: To provide a systematic review and meta-analysis of supervised randomized-controlled trials (RCTs) on the effects of post-exercise stretching on short-term (≤1 h after exercise) and delayed (e.g., ≥24 h) recovery makers (i.e., DOMS, strength, ROM) in comparison with passive recovery or alternative recovery methods (e.g., low-intensity cycling). However, the question remains if post-exercise stretching is better for recovery than other post-exercise modalities. 10 Centro de Investigación en Fisiología del Ejercicio, Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad Mayor, Santiago, Chile.īackground: Post-exercise (i.e., cool-down) stretching is commonly prescribed for improving recovery of strength and range of motion (ROM) and diminishing delayed onset muscular soreness (DOMS) after physical exertion.9 Human Performance Laboratory, Department of Physical Activity Sciences, Universidad de Los Lagos, Osorno, Chile.8 The Psychology for Positive Development Research Center (CIPD), Universidade Lusíada, Porto, Portugal.7 Research Unit for Sport and Physical Activity (CIDAF), Faculty of Sport Sciences and Physical Education, University of Coimbra, Coimbra, Portugal.6 Superior School of Education and Social Sciences, Polytechnic of Leiria, Leiria, Portugal.5 Associate Graduate Program in Physical Education Universidade de Pernambuco (UPE)/Universidade Federal da Paraíba (UFPB), João Pessoa, Brazil.4 Research Center in Sports Sciences, Health Sciences and Human Development (CIDESD), University Institute of Maia (ISMAI), Maia, Portugal.3 Instituto de Telecomunicações, Delegação da Covilhã, Covilhã, Portugal.2 Escola Superior Desporto e Lazer, Instituto Politécnico de Viana do Castelo, Rua Escola Industrial e Comercial de Nun'Álvares, Viana do Castelo, Portugal.1 Centre for Research, Education, Innovation and Intervention in Sport, Faculty of Sport of the University of Porto, Porto, Portugal. ![]()
