Stretching Techniques
Dynamic Stretching
Dynamic stretching is a training method widely used in gyms, utilizing springs. No plates are used; the objective is to improve physical condition by increasing the range of motion.
Ballistic Stretching
Ballistic stretching uses methods similar to dynamic stretching but involves more exaggerated muscle movement. It also produces the normal myotatic reflex and must be monitored carefully as it carries a higher risk of muscle injury.
Benefits of Dynamic & Ballistic Stretching
- More motivating and less boring than static stretching.
- Develops dynamic flexibility.
Disadvantages of Dynamic & Ballistic Stretching
- Tissue adaptation is momentary.
- Increases the risk of injuries.
- Triggers the stretch reflex.
