Ballistic stretches force the limb into an extended range of motion when the muscle has not relaxed enough to enter it. It involves fast bouncing movements where a double bounce is performed at the end range of movement.
Besides the way you perform static and ballistic stretching, one of the biggest differences in these two types of stretching is safety. Static stretching is a safe and effective way to improve your flexibility.
