What is dynamic stretching?

• Dynamic stretching is a form of stretching that involves moving parts of your body and gradually increasing reach, speed of movement, or both.
• Dynamic stretching is a form of stretching that is done only before exercise.
• Dynamic stretching is a form of stretching that involves bouncing or jerking movements.
• Dynamic stretching is a form of stretching that involves holding a position for an extended period of time.

What is Static-Active stretching?

• Static-Active stretching involves holding a stretch position using the strength of the agonist muscle.
• Static-Active stretching is performed quickly without holding the stretch.
• Static-Active stretching requires a partner to assist in the stretch.
• Static-Active stretching involves bouncing at the end range of motion.

What is static passive stretching?

• Static passive stretching involves bouncing at the end range of motion to increase flexibility.
• Static passive stretching involves holding a stretch position with the assistance of an external force, such as a partner or a prop, without actively engaging the muscles being stretched.
• Static passive stretching requires the individual to actively contract the muscles being stretched.
• Static passive stretching is performed without any external assistance or support.

What is ballistic stretching?

• Ballistic stretching is a form of stretching that involves weightlifting exercises.
• Ballistic stretching is a form of stretching that involves bouncing or jerking movements to increase flexibility.
• Ballistic stretching is a form of stretching that involves slow and controlled movements to increase flexibility.
• Ballistic stretching is a form of stretching that involves holding a static position for an extended period.

What is isometric stretching?

• Isometric stretching involves tensing a muscle without changing its length.
• Isometric stretching involves lengthening a muscle while tensing it.
• Isometric stretching is a form of dynamic stretching.
• Isometric stretching is only effective for flexibility in the upper body.

What is PNF stretching?

• PNF stretching is a type of stretching that involves only static holds.
• PNF stretching is a type of stretching that focuses on cardio exercises.
• PNF stretching is a type of stretching that requires no muscle engagement.
• PNF stretching is a type of stretching that involves contracting and relaxing muscles using your brain receptors to improve flexibility and range of motion.

What are 3 benefits of stretching?

• Worsened circulation, increased flexibility, decreased muscle size.

• Increased flexibility, improved circulation, injury prevention
• Increased injury risk, increase muscle size,

  Increase mood

• Decreased flexibility, decreased mood, improved circulation.

What is muscular endurance?

• Muscular endurance is the ability of a muscle to lift heavy weights for a short period of time.
• Muscular endurance is the same as flexibility in muscles.
• Muscular endurance is only important for professional athletes.
• Muscular endurance is the ability of a muscle or group of muscles to repeatedly exert force against resistance over an extended period of time.
