Constant-force stretching immediately increases range of motion in joint stiffnessStretching with a constant force immediately increases range of motion more than holding a joint in a fixed position, according to research by movement scientist Guido Geusebroek. This finding could eventually contribute to improving treatments for people recovering from a stroke or living with conditions involving muscle spasticity.

Sex-Specific differences in Wall Thickness of the HeartIntensive training changes the heart. Just like skeletal muscles, the heart adapts to the demands placed on it, and in elite athletes this can result in a thicker heart muscle wall. This creates an important diagnostic ‘grey zone’: when is a thicker heart simply the result of training, and when could it indicate disease?
