Helps reduce the risk of injury and muscle soreness
Describe Ballistic training
Force of limb movement to stretch muscles beyond their normal range of movement
Describe PNF training
Advanced form of passive stretching, often used in rehabilitation programmes
Sporting activities
Most sports require good flexibility as having a good range of motion will benefit performance
Examples of sporting activities
