The tension in a muscle spindle is maintained by flower spray endings. This is created by contraction of actin and myosin filaments.

What are two types of static stretching?

Static stretching are low-force, long duration stretches that evoke a temporary increase in muscle tension due to muscle lengthening. After 7 to 10 seconds of a low-force stretch, the increase in muscle tension activates a GTO (golgi tendon organ) response. Under GTO activation, muscle spindle activity within the stretched muscle is temporarily inhibited, allowing further muscle stretching.Dynamic stretching are low-grade muscle contractions of an antagonist (a muscle that acts in opposition of another) muscle for 6 to 15 seconds inhibit or reduce muscle spindle activity within a agonist muscle. This reduces muscle tonicity, allowing that muscle to be stretched.
