This reflects the difference in anatomical body structure, tissue fac tors and hormonal function. The muscle-tendon system and joints of men are normally larger and built to be more stable. Ligaments and fasciae are also thicker and less flexible in men. Androgen dominating in men and oestrogen in women will affect differently on the development and elas ticity of fa sciae, muscles, tendons and ligaments. The production and release of the hormone relax in in w omen during pregnancy allows joint ligaments to become loose and stretch more easily.
These preferences w ill reflect cultural attitudes while individuals will also want to use their innate abilities by practising activities that come more naturally. However, it is recommended , , 32 SECTION 1 STRETCHING THEORY that men with excessive stiffness should concentrate also on improving flexibility. CHANGES IN MOBILITY ACCORDING TO TIME OF DAY Flexibili ty in the extremities and through the spine will change d epending on the time of day. Stiffness grad ually increases during sleep. Movement in the morning can feel stiff, but w ill improve with daily activity and improve more quickly w ith stretching.
Magnusson (1998) showed that strengthening exercises decreased elasticity in the muscle-tendon system immediately after workout. 13). Thus, maximum and repeated muscle contraction in concentric exercise will change the resilience in the muscle-tendon system, making it more stretchable and not more stiff. The increase in stretchability results from changes during muscle contraction. Resistance in the muscletendon system did not change following eccentric exercise, even though the force used was noticeably greater.
