Mobility
Advantages
Increase range of movement
Reduce injury
Can sport specific
Adaptations
Legthen muscle spindle fibres
Increase resting length
Limited stretching of soft tissue
Disadvantages
Can lead to hyper flexibility
Reduce muscle effectiveness
Active stretching
Slow stretching where flexibility is achieved using your own muscles
Passive stretching
Slow stretching which is assisted by a partner or wall
Ballistic stretching
Rapid stretching in which contractions of the agonist force the antagonist to lengthen
PNF
Stretching followed by isometric contractions followed by further stretching
Muscle action
Controlled by stretch receptors called proprioceptors
Stretch reflex
Is a muscle reflexive contraction caused by the proprioceptors eg muscle spindles
