Los efectos de los estiramientos musculares: ¿qué sabemos realmente?

Muscular stretching is an essential part within physiotherapy programs and sport plans. Arguments for inclusion are various: a) improvement of join movement ampleness; b) decrease of muscular tone; c) improvement of sport-physical activity practice, and d) prevention of muscular injuries, etc. Nevertheless, these benefits do not keep up a correspondence with an acceptable evidence based level. From some conclusions of the revised studies, it seems to exist enough evidence for a critic review of some of the theoretic-practical components related to stretching.
