Mistake #9: Stretching your calves – and then wearing high heels the rest of the day. There’s nothing wrong with the “stretching your calves” part; it’s the high heels part that makes me want to bang my head against the wall. Talk about a dog chasing its tail!
Static (SS) and dynamic stretching (DS) can lead to subsequent performance impairments or enhancement with the stretched limb. Crossover or non-local muscle fatigue (NLMF) refers to unilateral fatigue-induced impairments in a contralateral or non-exercised muscle. Whereas there are conflicting ...

Anisotropy is a crucial concept in rock mechanics that affects how rocks behave in different layers. In wellbore stability, anisotropy refers to the variation in rock properties with direction. Rock properties change depending on the measurement direction, impacting accuracy. Ignoring anisotropy can lead...
According to Maxwell's criterion [33], LS topologies can be divided into two main categories:(1) bending, and (2) stretching-dominated structures [20,33]. Following this classification OT topology falls into the stretching-dominated category, while the other three topologies are classified as ...
at between ¼ and 2 inch intervals. In a preferred embodiment, the filaments are crimped so that stretching of the sheath-core yarn does not break the electrical continuity of the semi-conductor core. A noted disadvantage of sheath-core filaments is the relatively high cost of resultant yarns...
In this brief summary, fully integrated refers to the deviatoric response. The pressure is almost always on a lower-order basis to avoid volumetric locking. Reduced integration implies element formulations that seek to reduce computational time through a single integration point and require hourglass ...
The aim of this narrative review was to summarize and discuss the most recent evidence related to the chronic effects of static stretching (SS) on muscle strength, muscle power, muscle hypertrophy, and injury prevention in healthy individuals. A literature search was conducted using the electronic ...
to ensure a continuous state of the overall grid and prevent issues with stress transmission. In the vertical direction, a stretching method is employed from the bottom surface upward to ensure the continuity of the grid throughout the model, avoiding stress discontinuities [35]. Based on the ...
It also refers to a process developed for crystal growth on Earth (see review in [14]). In both cases, the crystal is grown without interaction with the crucible, which considerably improves the structural quality of the material: there are fewer residual stresses, dislocations, spurious ...
