*: significantly different compared with immediately post-stretching (p < 0.05).† : significantly different compared with 15 min post-stretching (p < 0.05).‡: significantly different compared with 30 min post-stretching (p < 0.05). Values at each time point are the relative changes from the pre-intervention values. Values are expressed as mean ± standard deviation.
