63
Q

What is PNF training.

A

An advanced form of passive stretching, using a partner or object to provide resistance. Used to develop flexibility, mobility and strength often used in rehabilitation programmes. To perform PNF a partner will stretch the performers muscles to their limits for 6-10 seconds. The muscle is then relaxed and performed again but advanced slightly.
