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.

When you are performing work what are the two types of friction are acting upon?
There are only two types of friction and they are static and kinetic.
What are the two types of electricity describe each?
There are two types of Electricity, Static Electricity and Current Electricity. Static Electricity is made by rubbing together two or more objects and making friction while Current electricity is the flow of electric charge across an electrical field.not sure of answer but hopefully its correct
How faults are made?
Faults are created when tectonic plates are stretching or compressing. There are two types of faults which are normal and reverse faults.
What are the types of electricity?
Hydro,static and current.
What is static universe theory?
from CosmologyScience.com "Dynamically stable, non-expanding or non-stretching Universe models; space does not 'expand' with these models." "Do not confuse with Steady-state models which employ space expansion." For more details see -- http://www.cosmologyscience.com/glossary.htm#Static

What is static stretching?
Static stretching involves stretching resting muscles. The techniques are specially designed to slowly elongate and enlarge muscles from half a minute to two minutes.
