flexibility

Question 1

corrective flexibility

Answer 1

increases joint range of motion, improves muscle imbalances, and corrects altered
joint motion; autogenic inhibition; use for Phase 1 training

Question 2

active flexibility

Answer 2

improves extensibility of soft tissue and increases neuromuscular efficiency; reciprocal
inhibition; use for Phase 2, 3, and 4 training.

Question 3

functional flexibility

Answer 3

—maintains integrated, multiplanar soft tissue extensibility and optimal neuromuscular
control; reciprocal inhibition; use for Phase 5 training.

Question 4

self-myofascial release

Answer 4

gentle pressure breaks up knots within muscle and helps release unwanted
tension; autogenic inhibition.

Question 5

static stretching

Answer 5

passively taking a muscle to the point of tension and holding the stretch for a minimum of
30 seconds; autogenic inhibition.

Question 6

active isolated stretching

Answer 6

—uses agonists and synergists to dynamically move joints into a range of motion;
reciprocal inhibition.

Question 7

dynamic stretching

Answer 7

uses force production and momentum to move joints through full ranges of motion;
reciprocal inhibition.
