WHAT IS MUSCLE STRETCHING
???
Stretching is a form of physical exercise
in which a specific muscle or tendon (or
muscle group) is deliberately flexed or
stretched in order to improve the
muscle's felt elasticity and achieve
comfortable muscle tone.
KEY POINTS:-
 Increased muscle control.
 Flexibility &
 Range of motion.
TYPES OF STRETCHING
Four types:-
1. Static stretching
2. Dynamic stretching
3. Ballistic stretching &
4. Proprioceptive neuromuscular
facilitation (PNF)
STATIC STRETCHING
Static stretching is used to stretch muscles
while the body is at rest.
It is composed of various techniques that
gradually lengthen a muscle to an
elongated position (to the point of
discomfort) and hold that position for 30
seconds to two minutes.
DYNAMIC STRETCHING
It is a form of stretching while
moving.
This form of stretching
prepares the body for physical
exertion and sports
performance.
BALLISTIC STRETCHING
A form of passive stretching or
dynamic stretching in a bouncing
motion.
According to the American Academy of
Orthopedic Surgeons; "Do not bounce
your stretches. Ballistic (bouncy)
stretching can cause injury."
BALLISTIC STRETCHING
This type of stretching can
cause muscles to get tight,
and can cause serious injury. It
has been replaced with static
stretching.
PNF STRETCHING
PNF is a set of stretching techniques commonly
used in clinical environments to enhance both
active and passive range of motion with the
ultimate goal being to optimize motor
performance and rehabilitation.
Generally an active PNF stretch involves a
shortening contraction of the opposing muscle to
place the target muscle on stretch. This is
followed by an isometric contraction of the target
muscle
PNF PRINCIPLE
 Massage muscle first.
 Stretch.
 Resist - as strong as is comfortable.
- as long as is comfortable.
 Passive contraction.
 Restretch - hold 6-10 seconds.
BENEFITS OF STRETCHING
 Relief from pain
 Increased flexibility
 Better range of motion of the joints
 Greater circulation of blood to various
parts of the body
 Relaxation and stress relief
BENEFITS OF STRETCHING
 Enhanced muscular coordination
 Improved posture
 Increased energy levels
 Greater sense of well-being
