In something soft or elastic, it means pulling or elongating wider or longer than normal without tearing or breaking. In the body, it means extending a body part to pull out the muscle, as when you reach for something far away or stretch before exercise to loosen the muscles.

What are the different kinds of stretching techniques that can be used to improve flexibility and prevent injury?

There are three main types of stretching techniques: static stretching, dynamic stretching, and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching.

PNF stretching combines stretching with contracting and relaxing the muscles. These techniques can help improve flexibility and reduce the risk of injury during physical activity.
