Good talking to you remek, you have a lot of interesting theories and ideas.
I found a interesting article about stretching collagen. According to the author who is a physical therapist (David Fleckenstein), the most effective stretching strategy is to go with low loads for longer durations. Basically what he says is
when your stretching collagen the time is more important than the actual force.

The main question here is what is the most effective way to lengthen collagen, the primary building block of connective tissue? I like to think of collagen as an unusual type of spring. With stretching we are trying to lengthen, or deform the spring. While force is the most effective way to deform a regular spring (how hard we pull it apart), time is the most effective way to deform the spring of collagen. |
