What is active stretching?
Active stretching is an exercise technique designed to increase flexibility in the muscle activation of reflex known as mutual inhibition. For example, the closure of muscle muscles on the front of the thigh requires the release of hamstrings on the back of the thigh. Therefore, if the aim is to encourage hamstrings to relax to achieve a deeper section, then the technique of tense quadricepe is used while holding the hamstring. For example, to stretch hamstrings, for example, you could lie on the back on the floor with the left leg stretched and the right leg Held directly towards the ceiling and then pull the right leg towards her with her arms and keep her leg relaxed. This would be followed by this section with an active stretching technique in which it would repeat the same section, but this time it contracts its four -headed series to help bring her leg down to her.
the thought that is behind the active stretching is such that only withE man attempts to release the muscles during the passive section, the muscle stretched necessarily downloads to protect himself from prolonging to the point of injury. This reflex is the responsible muscle spindle, the sensory organ found in muscle fibers, which perceives changes in the length of muscle and the speed of the length change. When a person puts the muscle into the passive section, the muscle spindles indicate the nervous system to react reflexively and place the forces on the muscles that resist. In order for this mechanism to do so, it is recommended to use an active stretching technique that eliminates the strength to antagonistic muscles - in the above example Hamstring - activation of reciprocal inhibition.
Similar methods to active stretching include proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching and stretching of resistance. Stretching PNF requires a partner and involves infecting a tight muscle isometrically against resistance, such as the strength of the partner, for 20-30 seconds, and then applies a static section for muscle extension.The stretching of the resistance involves the harness of the muscle, which is stretched eccentrically, because it is brought from a shortened position to an extended position and then a repetition, never -eating tension on the muscle as it moves through the universe. There is no static proportion in stretching resistance.
