The asperand († ) symbol shows significant differences between the two stretches at those time points (MAP: PNF>SLR, HR: SR>PNF).Hashtags (#) indicate significant differences between SLR and the other two groups at that time point.For each stretch group and testing time, the 45-s and 90-s values significantly (*) exceeded the pre-test and 2-min post-tests with the exception of systolic blood pressure (no significant interaction).
