Effects of static stretching and walking during inter-set intervals of resistance training on muscle fatigue of the quadriceps by Kosuke Takeuchi, Hiroaki Inoue, Motoka Fujiwara, Taiki Shimizu, Chiharu Nagai, Kosei Mizuno, Masatoshi Nakamura

“…Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 20 seconds of static stretching and walking during inter-set rest intervals of leg extension exercises on the number of repetitions to exhaustion, total amount of volume, and flexibility of the quadriceps (joint range of motion and muscle hardness) in untrained healthy males.MethodsFourteen healthy, untrained men performed three different interventions (passive rest, static stretching, and walking) during inter-set rest intervals of a leg extension exercise with a 70% load of maximum muscle strength, in random order. The range of motion and muscle hardness of the quadriceps were measured before and immediately after all interventions using a goniometer and a portable muscle hardness meter. …”
