Special Value for Bodybuilders
Over long periods of prolonged muscle elongation, the body detects that the overlap between actin and myosin has been reduced. It then synthesizes new sarcomeres at the ends of the myofilament to re-establish normal amounts of actin-myosin overlap within each sarcomere. The important implication for bodybuilders and other strength enthusiasts is that greater overlap means improved force production potential. And more force means more potential for growth.

And as for bodybuilder and other sportsman trying to improve joint mobility, longer, more frequent periods of stretching where lesser tensions are used may be the most effective approach to use.

Soreness after a stretching session is a sign that hydroxyproline and other biological "mortars" have been released into the muscle fiber to help repair damaged tissues. It's probably a sign that you're stretching too hard. Do it the moderate way !
