This document discusses three types of stretching: static stretching, which slowly lengthens muscles; dynamic stretching, which mimics sports movements through full range of motion; and PNF stretching, which combines stretching with alternating muscle contraction and relaxation. It recommends stretching before and after exercise to warm up and cool down muscles, targeting those used in the activity, and notes stretching can relieve post-exercise muscle soreness.
5. Static stretching is stretching muscles slowly
in order to lengthen them where their
movement is limited.
6. Dynamic stretching is stretching that moves
joints through their full range of motion to
mimic a movement used in a sport or
exercise.
7. PNF is a series of movements that combine
stretching with alternating contraction and
relaxation of muscles.
8. Stretching should be done before as well as
after working out or playing a sport.
The physical activity you engage in
determines which muscles you must stretch.
Stretching after an activity will provide
additional relief from muscle soreness.
9. I hope this presentation has given you a
better understanding of how and when to
stretch your muscles properly.
