Clarifying 'Stretch' in Hypertrophy

This chapter explores the complex terminology surrounding 'stretch-mediated hypertrophy' in strength training, aiming to establish a consistent definition of 'stretch.' It highlights the differences between stretch and lengthening within muscle physiology, emphasizing their crucial role in muscle activation and hypertrophic response. The discussion underscores the importance of precise language to avoid confusion and enhance understanding of muscle mechanics and adaptations in training.
