Stretching

Stretching consists of two types of stretching exercises that can be performed to increase flexibility, recovery rate, reduce injuries and enhance athletic performance:

Static stretching consists of holding stretches for approximately 30 - 60 seconds, without any discomfort.

Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitated (PNF) stretching is performed to increase the range of motion of a particular group of muscles. This is achieved by alternating contraction and relaxation of agonist and antagonist muscles.
