Response to Evans' comment on Pratt and Bohannon
Article Abstract:
The topic states that neural and passive mechanical factors contribute to increased range of motion. Practically, knowing whether a replicable intervention has an effect is important in itself, and mechanisms can only be posited.

Effects of a 3-minute standing stretch on ankle-dorsiflexion range of motion
Article Abstract:
Stretching exercise is prescribed to increase range of motion and reduce injuries. A need for further research to determine the duration that will result in lasting increases in ankle-dorsiflexion range of motion is suggested.
