Document Summary
Anti- exion: anti-extension, anti-rotation, anti-lateral exion, anti- exion, anti-posterior exion. Inhibitors and enhancers of fx elastic properties of the connective tissues (stiff vs compliant) viscoelastic stretch relaxation response) Ballistic stretching technique: bouncing, rapid, jerky, uncontrolled movements, extreme rom or point of discomfort, no longer used: because the risk of injury. Static stretching technique: stretching at a slow constant speed, with stretched position held for 30 second, slow to avoid activating stretch re ex. It involved relaxing and simultaneously lengthening of the stretch muscle. Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (pnf: normally performed with a partner, uses both passive movement and active (concentric and isometric) muscle actions. Technique: bring muscle or joint into a static stretch and hold for about 10 sec. Then contract the muscle for 6 sec isometrically against an external xed object (i. e. , a partner) acting in the direction of the stretch. The isometric contraction results in the stimulation of the gto allowing the muscle to relax.
