Summary

This study tested 51 healthy adults to find the smallest weekly dose of static stretching that still improves flexibility. Participants did 1 to 3 stretching sessions per week for 6 weeks, with total stretching time ranging from 45 to 135 seconds per week. The goal is to replace guesswork with evidence-based stretching recommendations.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
static stretching
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide clear, simple guidelines on the minimum stretching needed to improve flexibility, saving time for people who exercise or do physical therapy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 51 participants. The results may not apply to everyone, and the exact minimal dose may still be unclear.
