• Types of Stretching 2

  Ballistic Stretching
• Types of Stretching 3

  Static Stretching
• Flexibility


  is the ability of the muscles and joint to go through the full range of motion
• Basic Movements: a)

  Flexion - bending a body segment
• Basic Movements: b)

  Extension - straightening a body segment
• Basic Movements: c)

  Abduction - moving a limb away from the body
• Body Flexibility


  is achieved through stretching specific segments of the body; to achieve good body flexibility, exercises should be performed daily; for every tight muscle joint area, it is highly recommend that flexibility exercises be done at least twice a day
• Passive Assisted Stretching 


  involves relaxing of a specific body part and just allowing the partner to move the limb of the stretcher to gain a new range movement
• Static Stretching


  involves slow stretching of a segment of the body to the farthest point and holding that position for a certain period of time
• Ballistic Stretching


  involves a sudden, bouncing or jerking rhythmic movement of a specific, the stretcher does not know how far the soft tissue structures can extend during the exercise, thus the probability of tearing a muscle becomes apparent; in many cases, this type of stretching causes musle soreness
• Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF)


  involves the hold-relax (HR) approach to stretching
