“…However, muscle force transmission and muscle function during aging are altered by glycation-related cross-linking of intramuscular connective tissues 35. Stretching exercises are recognized as important for preventing fibrosis and treat musculoskeletal diseases 2. Thus, it is important to elucidate the effects of stretching exercise in rats by monitoring the force used in the induced muscle elongation and to explain the mechanisms involved in musculoskeletal adaptation related to the aging process.…”

“…Muscle stretching is defined as an exercise that involves the application of a force to improve the resistance of connective tissue by increasing the length of a muscle-tendon unit and the range of motion (ROM) 1. This type of exercise promotes physical benefits in young and old people, including enhanced flexibility and/or ROM 2,3, fascicle length 4, functional capacity 5, and performance 6.…”

“…Esta importância torna-se ainda mais relevante na população idosa, uma vez que diversos estudos têm demonstrado a relação entre os níveis de flexibilidade e a independência funcional de idosos (ZOTZ et al, 2014;COSTA et al, 2013;GALLO et al, 2015). A boa flexibilidade das articulações do quadril, joelho e tornozelo, por exemplo, possui estreita influência sobre os parâmetros da marcha, controle postural e equilíbrio e menor risco de quedas DINGWELL, 2008a;DINGWELL, 2008b;BOYER et al, 2012;GRANACHER;MUEHLBAUER;GRUBER, 2012).…”

“…Para a adequada prescrição dos exercícios de alongamento, é importante definir a técnica de alongamento, a intensidade, duração do estímulo, o número de repetições, o intervalo entre as repetições, a frequência diária e semanal, o período (semanas ou meses) em que o exercício é realizado e a faixa etária, pois esses parâmetros influenciam nos efeitos do programa de alongamento, sejam estes agudos ou crônicos (ZOTZ et al, 2014;FREITAS et al, 2016). As atuais recomendações do Colégio Americano de Medicina do Esporte (GARBER et al, 2011) para exercícios de alongamento ainda apresentam nível de evidência C, ou seja, são baseadas em artigos que não apresentam delineamento de ensaio clínico controlado randomizado.…”
