From the supplier: An investigation was conducted to determine if ballistic stretching could induce significantly higher levels of delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) than static stretching. Contrary to expected results, static stretching induced higher DOMS levels than ballistic stretching. Furthermore, higher levels of creatine kinase, a marker for muscle tissue disruption, were associated with ballistic stretching.
