DOI: 10.1007/s00421-020-04422-5
Abstract: We investigated the immediate effects of neurodynamic nerve gliding (ND) on hamstring flexibility, viscoelasticity, and mechanosensitivity, compared with traditional static stretching (ST). Twenty-two physically active men aged 21.9 ± 1.9 years were divided randomly into two equal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2020.04.159
Abstract: BACKGROUND Mechanical stress can induce multiple functional changes in vascular endothelial cells, including proliferation, differentiation, and migration. Furthermore, human fibroblasts are susceptible to external mechanical stress. In this work, we investigated whether mechanical stress can… read more here.
