Dynamic Stretching

for a number of tests, including flexibility and power and strength tests, a full warm-up should be conducted to reduce the possibility of injury

The purpose of this experiment was to be able to test different intensities of warm-up conditions changes in the heart rate, skin temperature, electromyogram (EMG), and the contraction of the bicep brachii. Testing three different intensity conditions to determine which warm-up is more efficient on muscle conditioning. Bicep stretches, cardio, and aerobic stretching were the three different conditions because they focused on different muscles in the body. The warm-up that is able to efficiently deliver more oxygenated blood to the muscle is the most affective. Therefore, the predictions is that aerobic stretching will enhance muscle performance of the bicep brachii. This will happen because aerobic stretching is a high intensity warm-up that increases heart rate and cardiac output.

Injuries are something that you don't want to happen. They are the number one leading cause of a career ending. An injury can happen at any moment at any time you just have to use preventive measures them from happening. The NBA is the number one leading sport for injuries. In basketball history there has been a total or 409,799 injuries in the league. That is why it is important for you to stretch before and after you play. If you don't stretch that can result in many different injuries like ankle sprains, groin pull, hamstring strains, shin splints, and many more. Some of them can end a career. I wouldn't want my career to end just because I wasn't safe. I know stretching may seem boring and pointless but, in life you going to be thankful

Is stretching a positive or negative thing for athletes? I readed two passages that tells you that if stretching is a positive or negative thing to do. The first passage opinion in“Stretching: The Right Way’’ uses a way to think that stretching is a positive way because it said that a “rubber band are like muscles’’. The author shows how stretching is the best if you don’t want injuries, in the passage it said that ‘‘muscles are like a rubber band if you slowly stretch the rubber band until it can go not further and then hold it for a few seconds the rubber band will not become looser and it will snap’’.

Stretching before a workout has its own pros and cons. A patient wants to know if he should continue to stretch prior to his workouts even though he says that he has always done it and it helps him with his workouts. As an expert, I would recommend him to stop because stretching is not a warm up, stretching before workouts may increases injuries, and there are no real conclusive evidence that stretching before an exercise helps prevent injuries.

First of all, monitoring your eating and stretching habits may be more strenuous than expected. You need to appropriately stretch before each run; however, it is recommended to do a warm up routine such as jogging a lap or taking a brisk walk with long strides before stretching. Stretching

There are 6 types of stretching that I have learnt today. Passive stretching is when there is a partner and an assistive equipment such as stretching device to assist you and provides external force to stretch a muscle. For example, having someone to help you with passive hamstrings stretch. The advantage of passive stretching is that can achieve a greater range of motion. The disadvantage is that the partner can overstretch you and you will have a greater risk of getting injury because of excess external force.

Dynamic stretching is most often used as part of your warm up "Before you begin your workout", to help loosen your muscles, as to help reduce injury during your workout. It helps to make you more comfortable during your workout. Twisting side to side is an example.

First and most importantly, you can experiment with stretching at the end of each workout. This may sound obvious - but you’d be surprised at how many people go to the gym, lift some weights, and then head right to the showers. By skipping the post-workout stretch, however, you are not giving

Stretching and holding a muscle in an elongated position for an extended period is called static stretching, the amount of time of each stretch can vary but is usually between 20-60 seconds. The muscle is typically stretched to its end range based on the patient’s sensory response. This type of stretch can be performed actively or passively and is generally repeated four to five times on each side. Static stretching is effective for increasing flexibility and has a low risk of exceeding the extensibility limits of a joint. Because static stretching involves a slow and controlled movement, the patient maintains control and reduces the risk of soft tissue tearing.

As pointed out above, static elongating is holding a stretch in one place without any movement. One of the important benefits of this form of elongating is that it aids to increase your suppleness. Holding the stretch for 30 seconds to two minutes will assist

Studies show that if you stretch before physical activities you will prevent injuries. So people started doing pre game stretches and post game stretches. More children are playing sports today than ever. Also more injuries are happening, because things are getting more competitive and people don’t think of themselves getting injured. Injuries usually happen on your muscles, you could tear them or pull them. Or you could

In case you check out Youtube or perform some Googling you will probably find some so named experts claiming that the answer to bare this from being a dilemma is called “Static Stretching” and yes, it can help and has an area, but it has a low effect.

I made sure that each and every stretch was held for 30 seconds and for each all were held to point of tension. To finish the session plan I included static stretches, as many sports people can suffer from tightness in particular muscle groups and due to this it may require stretches to be held for longer than what is needed in dynamic stretching. Static stretching also helps to improve flexibility and the more flexible a muscle is then the less likely it is to tear and the greater more it can exert greater force then the performance will be enhanced.

In the designed static stretching exercises the participants were supposed to stretch the leg extensor muscle of the dominant thigh. Four types of static stretching exercises (one unassisted stretching exercise followed by three assisted stretching exercises) were planned for this study. Each participant performed four repetitions of each static stretching exercise. The stretch was held for 30 seconds at a point of mild discomfort, but not pain. There was a 30 second rest period between each stretching repetition.
