The document discusses active stretching and its benefits. Active stretching involves holding a pose for 10-30 seconds using only the muscles targeted by that pose. Each muscle group should be stretched 3-5 times. Benefits of active stretching include less tightness, better circulation, increased flexibility, pain relief, improved performance, and decreased chances of soft tissue injury. Active stretches can be static, dynamic, or ballistic.
