A review of the acute effects of static and dynamic stretching on performance
TLDR
Generally, a warm-up to minimize impairments and enhance performance should be composed of a submaximal intensity aerobic activity followed by large amplitude dynamic stretching and then completed with sport-specific dynamic activities.

An Acute Bout of Self-Myofascial Release Increases Range of Motion Without a Subsequent Decrease in Muscle Activation or Force
TLDR
In conclusion, an acute bout of SMR of the quadriceps was an effective treatment to acutely enhance knee joint ROM without a concomitant deficit in muscle performance.

Factors affecting force loss with prolonged stretching.
TLDR
Although possible increases in muscle compliance affected twitch force, a lack of tetanic force change would suggest that post-stretch force decrements are more affected by muscle inactivation than changes in muscle elasticity.

An acute bout of static stretching: effects on force and jumping performance.
TLDR
The parallel duration of changes in ROM and quadriceps isometric force might suggest an association between stretch-induced changes in muscle compliance and isometricforce output.

Maintenance of EMG Activity and Loss of Force Output With Instability
TLDR
The diminished force output suggests that the overload stresses required for strength training necessitate the inclusion of resistance training on stable surfaces, and electromyographic activity was detected with concentric vs. eccentric or isometric contractions.

Effect of acute static stretching on force, balance, reaction time, and movement time.
TLDR
It appears that an acute bout of stretching impaired the warm-up effect achieved under control conditions with balance and reaction/movement time.

Acute effects of muscle stretching on physical performance, range of motion, and injury incidence in healthy active individuals: a systematic review.
TLDR
Considering the small-to-moderate changes immediately after stretching and the study limitations, stretching within a warm-up that includes additional poststretching dynamic activity is recommended for reducing muscle injuries and increasing joint ROM with inconsequential effects on subsequent athletic performance.

Intended rather than actual movement velocity determines velocity-specific training response.
TLDR
The results suggest that the principal stimuli for the high-velocity training response are the repeated attempts to perform ballistic contractions and the high rate of force development of the ensuing contraction.

Effects of running, static stretching and practice jumps on explosive force production and jumping performance.
TLDR
The results indicated that submaximum running and practice jumps had a positive effect whereas static stretching had a negative influence on explosive force and jumping performance and it was suggested that an alternative for static stretching should be considered in warm-ups prior to power activities.

Trunk muscle activity increases with unstable squat movements.
TLDR
Activities of the soleus, AS, ULES, and LSES muscles were highest during the unstable squat and lowest with the Smith machine protocol (p < 0.05), and EMG activity was higher during concentric contractions compared to eccentric contractions.
