The primary objective of this study is to determine the immediate efficiency of stretching intensity on regional and distant pain sensitivity in healthy subjects. It is hypothesized that the analgesic effect of stretching may be linked with the intensity of stretching in a dose-response relationship.

This was a randomized, repeated-measures cross-over study. The interventions consist of two different stretching protocols (e.g., stretching to the point of discomfort and stretching to the point of pain). Subjects were randomized to one of two groups (pain first or discomfort first). Both groups underwent a static stretch protocol consisting of four bouts of thirty-second constant-angle static stretching of the knee flexors with a 20-second rest period between bouts. Subjects were instructed to keep the limb relaxed as the lower leg was passively moved towards extension to the point of discomfort and the point of pain.
