Q

AUTOGENIC INHIBITION

A

The process by which neural impulses that sense tension are greater than the impulses that cause muscles to contract, providing an inhibitory effect to the muscle spindles.

Q

STATIC STRETCHING

A

The process of passively taking a muscle to the point of tension and holding the stretch for a minimum of 30 seconds.

16
Q

ACTIVE ISOLATED STRECTCH

A

The process of using agonists and synergists to dynamically move the joint into a range of motion.

17
Q

DYNAMIC STRETCH

A

The active extension of a muscle, using force production and momentum, to move the joint through the full available range of motion.
