A 2013 study entitled " Stretching and deep and superficial massage do not influence blood levels after heavy-intensity cycle exercise " evaluated the role of passive stretching, deep massages and superficial massages after intense exercise. The kinetics of lactate concentration in the blood was observed above all ([La (-)]) and the results were then compared with those obtained from active and passive recovery
For some decades now, stretching has been considered a fundamental practice for improving basic musculoskeletal fitness, trauma prevention and muscle rehabilitation, as well as optimizing athletic performance in various disciplines. Precisely in relation to this last area, it is necessary to remember that the opinions of sports technicians are often discordant, which is why scientific research has tried to clarify its true entity
DOMS is the English acronym of " Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness ", or "delayed onset muscle soreness".

The hypothetical advantages of muscle stretching performed before sporting activity have recently been questioned due to the fear that this could significantly reduce the development of strength and the production of muscular energy. Moreover, the different points of view regarding the methodology and the results of the researches, have hindered the reaching of a unanimous consensus by sports professionals
