What is the difference between static stretching and dynamic stretching?

Answer 1

active range of motion is physical activity as a result of voluntary movement from a patient with minimal or no assistance. passive range of motion is when body parts are moved with the assistance or entirely by an outside source, there is usually no or very little action or resistence by the patient.

Answer 2

Passive stretching is when the body part is manoeuvred into a position and held there for a set length of time, however it requires a partner, machine, object, wall or floor to generate external force.

On the other hand, Active stretching is when the muscles are stretched using the contraction of an opposing muscle group rather than assistance from external forced. Active stretches require holding the body part still, unlike Passive stretching.

Static Stretching

In static stretching, you stretch to the point that you feel a gentle pull in the belly of your muscle and then hold that position. Never stretch past the point of gentle stretching to a point where you feel pain. Static stretches should be held for 30 seconds, and each static stretch should be repeated three times. Breathe deeply as you hold your static stretch, concentrating on inhaling fully and exhaling completely.

Ballistic Stretching

Ballistic stretching is not stationary. In ballistic stretching, you stretch to the furthest point you can reach. At this furthest point, you then bounce attempting to force the stretch even further. For example, in a seated position with both legs stretched out in front of you, you reach for your toes, stretching as far as you can. Then you start to bounce your torso so your hands get closer to your toes.

Answer 4

It's a completely different stretching type. While having an AIS (active isolated stretching) session you perform repetitions that are hold for 2 seconds. The first repetitions are on the verge of your normal range of motion but after a few ones, when you feel a bit more warmed-up, you can gradually increase the range of your motion

Answer 5

Dynamic stretching is moving in and out of a position, and static stretching is holding in one position.
