Stretching Decreases Muscular Strength and Power Greek researchers found that muscle power decreases the longer you stretch the muscle. They measured the effects of stretches lasting from 10 to 60 seconds on isometric strength and power. Stretching for 30 seconds decreased isometric strength by nearly 9%, while stretching 60 seconds decreased power by 16%. Stretching 30 seconds or longer has similar effects in decreasing muscle power. They recommend that athletes avoid static stretching of muscles for 30 seconds or more before activities requiring maximum strength and power. - JSCR, 22:40-46, 2008
