Definición

  • Exercises that stretch the muscle fibers with the aim to increase muscle-tendon FLEXIBILITY, improve RANGE OF MOTION or musculoskeletal function, and prevent injuries. There are various types of stretching techniques including active, passive (relaxed), static, dynamic (gentle), ballistic (forced), isometric, and others. This is when one stretches to the farthest point and holds the stretch. This is where one assumes a position and then holds it there with no assistance other than using the muscle strength. This is a type of static stretching which involves the resistance of muscle groups through ISOMETRIC CONTRACTION. This uses the momentum of a moving body or a limb in an attempt to force it beyond its normal range of motion. This involves moving parts of the body and gradually increasing reach, speed of movement, or both. It is a gentle and controlled stretching to the limits of one's range of motion. A form of flexibility and strengthening training, which involves targeting muscle groups in functional directions. It is designed to imitate natural proprioceptive input and muscle activation patterns to improve flexibility and range of motion. It combines muscle contraction and relaxation with passive and partner-assisted stretching. A technique in which one is relaxed and makes no contribution to the range of motion. Instead, an external force is used to achieve the stretching. A position is held by another body part or person, or an apparatus.
