Stretching showdown: which boosts cyclist performance?
NCT ID NCT07164729
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 30 professional cyclists to see how two different stretching techniques—PNF and dynamic stretching—affect muscle performance, strength, and flexibility. Participants did one type of stretch and were tested right after. The goal was simply to compare immediate effects, not to treat any disease.
