Q

Determine the PNF Principle

When a muscle is put on stretch for a prolonged amount of time or contracts isometrically, the GTO is activated and inhibits the tension, allowing the muscle to relax and elongate. This elongation during a stretch or extreme tension helps prevent the possible tearing of a tendon or muscle.
