To compare the effects of stretching with centrifugal contraction (10% ES, 20% ES) and static stretching (SS) under two different %MVC conditions, and to examine the optimal %MVC condition for ES, joint range of motion and MVC before and after intervention for three different stretches were compared. The results showed that all three types of stretches increased ROM similarly before and after the intervention. The ES 20% stretching group showed significantly higher MVC after intervention than the other two stretching groups.
