Purpose: Verify the acute responses of static stretching (SS) on the rectus femoris (RF), vastus medialis (VM), and vastus lateralis (VL) elasticity and knee/hip range of motion (ROM). Additionally, to investigate if there are consistency among quadriceps muscle elasticity after SS.
Methods: Acute effect of SS on pre-post-intervention design.
Article Synopsis
- Echo intensity (EI) is a useful measure for assessing muscle quality and identifying tissue damage, metabolic disorders, and performance in clinical and sports settings.
- This study aimed to investigate the impact of subcutaneous adipose thickness (SAT) on the reliability of EI measurements in the quadriceps muscles among 19 healthy young participants, with assessments conducted at two different time points.
- Results showed that SAT significantly improved the reliability of EI measurements, with good to excellent reliability across various muscles, while muscle dominance did not influence EI values in the participants.

Dietary phytochemical supplementation may improve muscle recovery from exercise. In this study, we investigated the effect of mate tea (MT) consumption - a phenol-rich beverage - on muscle strength and oxidative stress biomarkers after eccentric exercise. In a randomised, cross-over design, twelve men were assigned to drink either MT or water (control; CON) for 11 d.
