The effect of a combined long‐duration static stretching and resistance training regimen on a competitive bodybuilder: A case study by Kai A. Homer, Eric R. Helms, Alyssa‐Joy Spence

“…Ultrasound muscle architecture (muscle thickness [MT], fascicle length [FL], and pennation angle [PA]) measurements were collected at multiple sites at four weekly baseline sessions, six (mid) and 12 (post1) weeks following the commencement of the intervention, and a week after the intervention (post2) while isometric strength and range of motion (RoM) were obtained once at baseline, mid, post1, and post2. 2SD band plots were constructed to determine meaningful changes in MT, FL, and PA from the four baseline measures while percentage and absolute change across each timepoint were calculated for all variables. From baseline to post 1, RoM, strength, and MT increased 25.9%, 11.4%, and 7.4%–23.4%, respectively, while four MT and two PA sites exceeded the threshold for meaningful change. …”
