“…Accordingly, six weeks of one-hour daily self-administered calf muscle stretching induced increases in maximal strength, muscle thickness, and flexibility that were not significantly different from a commonly used resistance training routine (5 × 12 repetitions on 3 days per week for 6 weeks) [ 14 ]. Nevertheless, the plantar flexors can be considered a comparatively small muscle group with comparably low impact on multi-articular, complex (athletic) movements [ 15 , 16 ]. While Wohlann et al [ 17 ], Ikeda and Ryushi [ 18 ] and Chen et al [ 19 ] reported stretch-induced strength increases in the thigh muscles, Reiner et al [ 20 ], Warneke et al [ 21 ] and Wohlann et al [ 17 ] showed transferability to the upper body.…”

Purpose: While there is reported superior effectiveness with supervised training, it usually requires specialized exercise facilities and instructors. It is reported in the literature that high-volume stretching improves pectoralis muscles strength under supervised conditions while practical relevance is discussed. Therefore, the study objective was to compare the effects of volume equated, supervised- and self-administered home-based stretching on strength performance. Methods: Sixty-three recreational participants were equally assigned to either a supervised static stretching, home-based stretching, or control group. The effects of 15 min pectoralis stretching, 4 days per week for 8 weeks, were assessed on dynamic and isometric bench press strength and force development. Results: While there was a large magnitude maximal strength increase (p < 0.001–0.023, ƞ2 = 0.118–0.351), force development remained unaffected. Dynamic maximal strength in both groups demonstrated large magnitude increases compared to the control group (p < 0.001–0.001, d = 1.227–0.905). No differences between the intervention group for maximal strength (p = 0.518–0.821, d = 0.101–0.322) could be detected. Conclusions: The results could potentially be attributed to stretch-induced tension (mechanical overload) with subsequent anabolic adaptations, and alternative explanatory approaches are discussed. Nevertheless, home-based stretching seems a practical alternative to supervised training with potential meaningful applications in different settings.
