Q

What is the term used to describe a type of stretching that uses agonists and synergists to dynamically move the joint into a range of motion?

A

Active stretching

17
Q

What is the mechanism of action for active stretching?

A

Reciprocal inhibition

18
Q

Dynamic stretching

A

A type of stretching that uses the force production of a muscle in the body‘s momentum to take a joint through the full available range of motion

This stretch tends to mimic movements use during an exercise session
