Neural
Passive ROM, rate of torque development (RTD), and maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) all increased after the intervention.
Improvements in passive ROM, RTD, and MVC indicate that both SMR and SS can be effective for enhancing muscle performance.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Passive ROM (P < .001), RTD, and MVC (P < .05) all increased after the intervention.
