The stretch reflex (myotatic reflex) is a muscle contraction in response to stretching within the muscle. It is a monosynaptic reflex which provides automatic regulation of skeletal muscle length. When a muscle lengthens, the muscle spindle is stretched and its nerve activity increases.
The first is the muscle spindles. Located within the muscle fibres they monitor changes in muscle length. The stretch reflex is the bodys involuntary response to an external stimulus that stretches the muscle (5) and causes a reflexive increase in muscular activity. It is the muscle spindles that activate this response. When stretching, it is best to avoid this activating the muscle spindles and the stretch-reflex response, as it will limit motion. Static stretching does not elicit the muscle spindles, allowing muscles to relax and achieve a greater stretch. The other important proprioceptors are the golgi tendon organs (GTO).
