AB  - This study investigated the acute effect of a low-volume static and dynamic 
      stretching on maximal isometric peak force (MIPF), time to maximal isometric 
      force (TMIF), rate of force production (RFP) and average amplitude of the surface 
      EMG (AvgEMG) of the main agonist muscles acting on the bench press maximum 
      isometric force exercise. Thirty subjects were randomly divided into three 
      groups: static stretch (SG: 22.8 +/- 5.6 years, 176.6 +/- 3.5 cm, 74.4 +/- 5.9 kg), 
      dynamic stretch (DG: 21.4 +/- 3.9 years, 178.4 +/- 7.2 cm, 71.7 +/- 8.2 kg) and control 
      group (CG: 20.4 +/- 3.6 years, 179.8 +/- 5.8 cm, 74.4 +/- 9.8 kg). SG performed two 
      30-s repetitions and DG performed 10 repetitions of each of the two different 
      exercises for the pectoralis major and triceps brachii. The MIPF, TMIF, RFP and 
      AvgEMG of the pectoralis major (sternocostal part) and triceps brachii (long and 
      lateral head) were measured before and immediately after the stretching 
      protocols. A significant decrease in the MIPF from pre- to post-stretching was 
      observed in both SG (p <0.001) and DG (p <0.05). No significant differences were 
      found in the CG for all force parameters. No significant differences in the TMIF 
      and RFP from pre- to post-stretching were found in the three groups. The SG 
      showed a significant (p <0.05) decrease in the AvgEMG of the three muscles, 
      whereas no significant differences were found for the DG and CG. These findings 
      suggest that a low-volume static and dynamic stretching adversely affects efforts 
      of muscle maximal strength of the upper limb muscles studied, but it does not 
      seem to affect TMIF or RFP.
