can only stretch muscles with the bodies natural range of nation
not physically exerting so it cant always be beneficial as a warm up
not effective for certain muscles groups.
what is ballistic stretching ?
using the force of limb movement to stretch muscles beyond their normal range of movement . movements are fast and jerky involving bouncing or bobbing meaning risk of injury . normally used in a warm up and it can be made sport specific
which sports performers require a high level of flexibility in ballistic stretching.
