Document Summary
The ability of a joint to move freely through its full range of motion without causing injury. Provides 47% of resistance to movement within joint. Can remain flexible with regular activity and stretching. Enhanced ability to move freely and easily. Possible reduction in low back (current or future) 2 to 3 days a week (up to 7 days if possible) Slightly beyond the normal range of motion to the point of tension. Should be done at end of workout. Moving body parts to gradually increase speed and/or range of motion. Should be applied after general warm up. Best done before activities that require high muscular forces. Uses your own muscle forces to stretch yourself. Uses someone or something else to assist with a stretch. Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (pnf) uses the nervous and muscular systems to facilitate stretching. 6 second isometric contraction of the muscle being stretched. Flexibility is specific to each joint so each joint must be considered.
