, Flexibility Training
Flexibility is the range of motion in a joint or group of joints or the abilit
to move joints effectively through a complete range of motion. To train y
flexibility, there are 4 different methods that you can consider using: sta
stretching, dynamic stretching, ballistic stretching and proprioceptive
neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching. In the next slide I will be
talking about static stretching.
, Flexibility- Static Stretching
A method of training for flexibility is static stretching this involves holding the
stretch in one position. The time that you hold the stretch for varies depending
on the activity, an example of this is cooling down after physical activities then
the stretch could be held for 10 seconds, If your flexibility increases through
time then you could extend the time of the stretching to 20 seconds.
An example of a static stretch is the hip and thigh stretch. To perform this
exercise, the athlete has to stand with there legs apart at around the same
width as the shoulders, then the athlete will turn the whole of there body 90
degrees to the right, then the athlete will bend the right top part of the leg so
that the thigh is parallel to the floor, then the right bottom part of the leg is
vertical, the left leg is then stretched out at about a 60 degree angle with the
heel of the foot placed on the floor. To keep your body balanced use your arms
to balance yourself also keeping your back straight. To feel the effects of the
stretch slightly shift a bit of your weight onto your right quadricep which will
then stretch your left quadricep followed by the stretching of your right leg
which will stretch the hamstrings.
