Static Stretching

Static stretching consists of stretching a muscle (or a group of muscles) to its farthest point and then maintaining or holding that position for about 30 to 60 seconds. There is no bouncing or rapid movement. The person should feel a mild pulling sensation, but no pain. The stretch should be felt in the belly of the muscle and not the joints.

Introduction of Stretching

Introduction In any kind of exercise/sports, stretching is one of the first things to be implemented in the training program. It is considered one of the fundamental requirements, which must be acquired before getting involved with more sports specific work. Even more, mobility work has become so important that every sport has adopted its own specific stretching regime. Since injuries place a person "out of practice" for a considerable amount of time, they indirectly influence performance. Therefore, the lower the risk of injury, the better the ultimate performance will be. Several studies have found a significant relationship between stretching and injury prevention.

Active Stretching

Active stretching consists of assuming a position and then holding it there with no assistance other than using the strength of muscles. An example of active stretching would be bringing the leg up high and holding it in that extended position. The theory is that one muscle contracts the opposite muscles will relax resulting in a better stretch. Active stretches can be difficult and rarely need to be held any longer than 10 to 15 seconds.
