Static stretching alters neuromuscular function and pacing strategy, but not performance during a 3-km running time-trial.
Previous studies report that static stretching (SS) impairs running economy. Assuming that pacing strategy relies on rate of energy use, this study aimed to determine whether SS would modify pacing strategy and performance in a 3-km running time-trial.Eleven recreational distance runners performed a...
