Stretchandrecover
Stretchandrecover is a framework used in physical training and rehabilitation that alternates periods of muscle stretching with brief recovery intervals. The goal is to improve flexibility, reduce muscle tension, and support recovery after exertion by promoting gradual tissue elongation while allowing metabolic processes to stabilize during rest.
Practices typically involve cycles of stretches lasting 15 to 60 seconds, followed by 15 to 60 seconds
Applications include athletic conditioning, post-injury rehabilitation, and mobility programs for aging populations. The approach is sometimes
Evidence on effectiveness is mixed. Some studies report small gains in range of motion or subjective recovery,
