Elasticity
Give this one a try later!
The ability to return to original resting length after a passive stretch.
Provides temporary change in length.
Muscles, ligaments, and tendons have elastic properties
Four Distinct Disadvantages to Ballistic Stretches
Give this one a try later!
, 1. Increased danger of exceeding the extensibility limits of tissues involved
2. Higher energy requirements
3. Greater likelihood of causing muscular soreness
4. Activation of the stretch reflex
Benefits of Flexibility Training
Give this one a try later!
Eliminates awkward and inefficient movement by allowing joints to move
freely through normal ROM
May provide increased resistance to muscle injury (decrease incidence of
muscle tears and muscle pain due to tight muscles)
Viscoelastic Stretch Relaxation Response
Give this one a try later!
When a muscle is held for a period of time under tension in a static stretch,
the passive tension of the muscle declines (gives a little or relaxes)
