Abstract
Introduction: Passive stretching (PS) and fatigue-inducingexplosive efforts (EE) are both regular components of preparationand participation in sporting activities for physically active adults.Whilst the influence of long-duration PS and single-joint exerciseinduced fatigue on spinal reflex excitability (SRE) has been assessedvia the Hoffman reflex (H-reflex), no studies have used protocolsecologically valid to performance or clinical settings. Therefore, theaim of this study was to examine the acute effects of short-durationPS and repeated multi-joint, sports-specific EE on SRE in healthy,physically active adults.

| Other | The leading multidisciplinary Sports Medicine Conference in AustralasiA Year after year, the SMA Conference serves as a premier platform for the world’s leading sports medicine researchers and practitioners to connect, collaborate, and exchange ideas. The 2025 ASICS SMA Conference was exception. Set against the stunning backdrop of Hobart from 29 October - 1 November, this unique event brought together experts across sports medicine and sports science disciplines, including physiotherapists, sports and exercise physicians, sports doctors, orthopaedic surgeons, sports podiatrists, epidemiologists, physical activity researchers, exercise and sport scientists, sports dietitians, and more. With over 450 delegates in attendance, the Conference offered a valuable opportunity to expand the knowledge and professional network for our guests. Global and local thought leaders presented cutting-edge research, while symposia and hands-on workshops provided both theoretical and practical learning experiences. Early and senior career researchers showcased their latest advancements, enriching the understanding of sports medicine research and practice for attendees. Beyond the rigorous scientific program, an engaging social program gave guests the chance to reconnect with colleagues, forge new connections, and expand their referral networks. |
