🏋️♀️ Strength Training vs. Stretching: Which Improves Flexibility More?
A new meta-analysis compared the effects of strength training (ST) and stretching on range of motion (ROM)—and the results may surprise you.
🔍 Key Findings:
✅ Both ST and stretching improve ROM
✅ No significant difference between the two methods
✅ ST might offer additional benefits for efficiency & adherence
✅ Future studies needed, but both methods are effective!
💡 Clinicians could consider time-efficient strength routines to boost flexibility—especially for people struggling to stick to longer stretching sessions.
