METHODS: The endurance running performances of 16 well-trained long-distance male runners were assessed on a treadmill at about 5 minutes after 2 types of intervention. The interventions were running intervention and dynamic stretching intervention. In the running intervention, each participant ran on the treadmill at a velocity equivalent to his 70% maximal oxygen uptake (V̇O2max) in each participant for 15 minutes. In the dynamic stretching intervention, dynamic stretching was performed for 10 repetitions as quickly as possible for the 5 muscle groups of the lower extremities for 3 minutes and 40±9 seconds. Endurance running performance was evaluated by time to exhaustion during running at a velocity equivalent to 90% V̇O2max in each participant. RESULTS: The time to exhaustion (870.7±237.6 seconds) after dynamic stretching intervention was significantly (d=0.75, P=0.01) prolonged compared with that (745.4±225.1 seconds) after running intervention. CONCLUSIONS: The results demonstrated that the dynamic stretching intervention improved the endurance performance of running at a velocity equivalent to 90% V̇O2max in well-trained male runners. Our findings suggested that performing dynamic stretching was effective for improving performance compared with performing only running during the warm-up.}, pages = {13--19}, title = {Acute effect of dynamic stretching or running on endurance running performance in well-trained male runners}, volume = {179}, year = {2020} }
