Outline of Final Research Achievements	The present study investigated that whether the dynamic stretching affect joint flexibility and passive mechanical properties of muscle-tendon unit. The main findings were that ankle range of motion increased immediately after dynamic stretching, whereas dynamic stretching did not significantly change the passive mechanical properties (such as stiffness) of the muscle-tendon unit or displacement of the muscle-tendon junction.
