However, little is known about the short-term effects or associated mechanisms. Therefore, this study compared within-session responses and between-session carry-over effects of eccentric contractions and static stretching in 18 healthy human volunteers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Using a counterbalanced crossover design, participants completed four sessions across two conditions: Eccentric contractions (EC\n                      <jats:sub>1<\/jats:sub>\n                      , EC\n                      <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                      ) and static stretching (SS\n                      <jats:sub>1<\/jats:sub>\n                      , SS\n                      <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                      ), with 48\u201372\u00a0h between sessions. EC comprised 5 sets of 10\u2009\u00d7\u20093-s isokinetic eccentric contractions while SS comprised 5 sets of 30-s static stretches (total time under tension\u2009=\u2009150\u00a0s). Dorsiflexion ROM and passive plantarflexor torque were recorded before and after each set, and maximal isometric plantarflexor torque, active Achilles tendon stiffness, and passive gastrocnemius medialis stiffness were measured pre- and post-intervention.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Significant within-session increases in ROM (2.2\u00b0\u20136.0\u00b0) and reductions in muscle\u2013tendon unit (MTU) stiffness (2.7\u20137.3%) and muscle stiffness (8.4%) occurred after both EC\n                      <jats:sub>1<\/jats:sub>\n                      and SS\n                      <jats:sub>1<\/jats:sub>\n                      .
