scientific research.<\/p>\n<p>Many studies that have been done show performing a static stretch (stretching a muscle or muscle group as far as it can go and holding the position for longer than 60 seconds) without warm-up exercises can increase muscle strength and the targeted joint\u2019s range of motion. <sup><a href=\"#\" class=\"lnb-footnote-anchor\"

effects of static stretching. More than likely, the subject hasn\u2019t been widely researched because it seems it won\u2019t yield meaningful results.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>However, a 2021 study titled \u201cNon-local acute stretching effects on strength performance in healthy young adults\u201d (Behm, D. G., Alizadeh, S., Drury, B., Granacher, U., & Moran, J.) was carried out to find out how static stretching affects the opposite side of the body and areas that weren\u2019t stretched.<\/p>\n<p>The study revealed that static stretching affects the stretched muscles and the muscles and joints on the opposite side of the body. The study\u2019s conclusion is consistent with studies that found static stretching increased mobility beyond the stretched body parts. <sup><a href=\"#\" class=\"lnb-footnote-anchor\" data-group=\"lnb-footnote-5\">5)<\/a><\/sup><sup><a href=\"#\" class=\"lnb-footnote-anchor\" data-group=\"lnb-footnote-6\">6)<\/a><\/sup><sup><a href=\"#\" class=\"lnb-footnote-anchor\" data-group=\"lnb-footnote-7\">7)<\/a><\/sup><sup><a href=\"#\" class=\"lnb-footnote-anchor\" data-group=\"lnb-footnote-8\">8)<\/a><\/sup><sup><a href=\"#\" class=\"lnb-footnote-anchor\" data-group=\"lnb-footnote-9\">9)<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1672682526\" class=\"col medium-4 small-12 large-4\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\" style=\"background-color:#f5f1e9;\" >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div id=\"text-2322420391\" class=\"text teaser-flag\">\n\t\t\n<h3>Read Study<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span style=\"font-size: 80%;\">Behm, D.
