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.
Dynamic stretching consists of controlled leg and arm swings that take you (gently!) to the limits of your range of motion. 1  Ballistic stretches involve trying to force a part of the body beyond its range of motion. In dynamic stretches, there are no bounces or jerky movements.
