The Effects of Static and Dynamic Stretching on Muscle Oxygen Saturation in the Rectus Femoris.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the muscle oxygen saturation (SmO) of static and dynamic warm-up and assess their impact on athletic preparation. The acute effects of static and dynamic stretching on muscular and functional performance have been well established, with many studies highlighting physiological factors and performance markers (such as range of motion and flexibility). To date, no studies have analyzed the effects of dynamic stretching on muscle oxygenation.
