A

The highest level of tension a joint should be stretched to

71
Q

Resistance 3 (R3)

A

The point of maximal myofascial tension that can lead to pain or injury

72
Q

Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF)

A

PNF stretching is performed by first lengthening the target muscle until a stretch sensation is felt (i.e., R1). This mild stretch is held for approximately 10 seconds and then the client will contract the target muscle (e.g., the hamstrings in a hamstring stretch), briefly fighting against the fitness professional’s pressure recommend a 20% contraction held for approximately 3 seconds.
Contract-Relax - Contract

73
Q

Perpetual Movement

A
