“…Although basketball coaches follow the aforementioned warm-up type, recent studies have examined the effect of static stretching during warm-up and found detrimental impact on performance (Faigenbaum et al 2006, Fletcher & Monte-Colombo 2010, Pearce et al 2009, Fowles et al 2000, Power et al 2004, Alikhajeh et al 2012, Little & Williams 2006, Chaouachi et al 2008, ο Nelson et al 2005, Sayers et al 2008, Fletcher & Jones 2004, Gelen 2010, Needman et al 2009, Winchester et al 2008Famisis 2015, Papadopoulos et al 2015.

The aim of the present study was to compare the acute effect of static and dynamic stretching on countermovement jump (CMJ) and ten meters sprint performance for basketball players. Twenty semiprofessional basketball players, 23.4 ± 0.5 yo, height 185.6 ± 2.8 cm, body mass 84.8 ± 6.2 kg, training age 10.4 ± 2.5 yr, performed a static (SS) and a dynamic (DS) stretching protocol in two different days, a week apart. Participants were randomly assigned to each protocol. Each session included: a) 10 min general basketball warm-up, b) initial evaluation of sprint and CMJ performance, c) five minutes static or dynamic stretching for the lower limbs, according to the protocol, and d) final evaluation of sprint and CMJ. The Photocells Powertimer 300 -PC Upgrade Kit and the jump mat (both from Newtest Powertimers, Oulu, Finland), were used for evaluating CMJ and sprint performance. Countermovement jumps with maximum effort were performed one minute after the intervention, with 30s recovery in between. Then athletes were asked to run 10 m with maximum speed. Athletes achieved better performance in both CMJ height and sprint time, with the DS protocol compared to the SS protocol. In conclusion, in sports of high strength and power demands, such as basketball, the use of dynamic stretching is preferable for its immediate effect on jumping and sprint performance.

“…Indeed, some studies insisted that static stretching could contribute to injury prevention through improvement of range of motion (ROM) in the applied joint (Shellock and Prentice 1985;Smith 1984;Young and Behm 2002). On the other hand, recent studies suggest that passive static stretching decreases not only the muscle strength and power output (Babault et al 2010;Cramer et al 2005;Fowles et al 2000;Kokkonen et al 1998;Marek et al 2005;McBride et al 2007), but also running performance (Chaouachi et al 2008;Fletcher and Anness 2007;Stewart et al 2007).…”

Acute effects of static stretching on leg-spring behavior during hopping

et al. 2011

Despite the fact that a stiffer leg spring is prerequisite for achieving a better performance during sports activities, effects of various types of warm-up on the leg stiffness is not well-known. The purpose of this study was to determine if static stretching influences the leg stiffness during two-legged hopping. Fourteen male subjects performed two-legged hopping at 2.2 Hz before and after a 3-min passive stretching of the triceps surae (dorsiflexion of 30°). Based on a spring-mass model, we calculated leg stiffness, which is defined as the ratio of maximal ground reaction force to maximum center of mass displacement at the middle of the stance phase. It was found that there was no significant difference in leg stiffness after passive static stretching. These results suggest that 3-min passive static stretching does not affect the leg-spring behavior and stiffness regulation during two-legged hopping. Finally, possible explanations for the invariant leg stiffness after the passive stretching are discussed.

A review of the acute effects of static and dynamic stretching on performance

An objective of a warm-up prior to an athletic event is to optimize performance. Warm-ups are typically composed of a submaximal aerobic activity, stretching and a sport-specific activity. The stretching portion traditionally incorporated static stretching. However, there are a myriad of studies demonstrating static stretch-induced performance impairments. More recently, there are a substantial number of articles with no detrimental effects associated with prior static stretching. The lack of impairment may be related to a number of factors. These include static stretching that is of short duration (<90 s total) with a stretch intensity less than the point of discomfort. Other factors include the type of performance test measured and implemented on an elite athletic or trained middle aged population. Static stretching may actually provide benefits in some cases such as slower velocity eccentric contractions, and contractions of a more prolonged duration or stretch-shortening cycle. Dynamic stretching has been shown to either have no effect or may augment subsequent performance, especially if the duration of the dynamic stretching is prolonged. Static stretching used in a separate training session can provide health related range of motion benefits. Generally, a warm-up to minimize impairments and enhance performance should be composed of a submaximal intensity aerobic activity followed by large amplitude dynamic stretching and then completed with sport-specific dynamic activities. Sports that necessitate a high degree of static flexibility should use short duration static stretches with lower intensity stretches in a trained population to minimize the possibilities of impairments.
