**5. Conclusions**

In conclusion, both stretching types increased ROM in gymnasts, but only intermittent stretching was effective in team sports athletes. Thus, there is an interaction between stretching type and participants' flexibility training background that should be considered among other factors (e.g., training experience, somatotype) when examining the acute effects of static stretching on range of motion enhancement.
