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.
PNF Stretching. PNF stretching (or proprioceptive muscular facilitation) is one of the most effective forms of flexibility training for increasing range of motion (1,2). PNF techniques can be both passive (no associated muscular contraction) or active (voluntary muscle contraction).While there are several variations of PNF stretching, they all have one thing in common-they facilitate muscular inhibition.NF techniques can be both passive (no associated muscular contraction) or active (voluntary muscle contraction).
