Static stretching means a stretch is held in a challenging but comfortable position for a period of time, usually somewhere between 10 to 30 seconds. Static stretching is the most common form of stretching found in general fitness and is considered safe and effective for improving overall flexibility.
The American Council on Exercise warns against stretching cold muscles, promoting warm-up activities before stretching. Also, when performing a static stretch, bouncing or pushing the stretch to the point of discomfort are less effective for improving flexibility and increase your risk of injury.
