What is trauma to a muscle or the muscle-tendinous units from violent contraction or excessive forcible stretch?
a muscle strain
What is the physiological response of cardiac muscle to stretching?
When cardiac muscle is stretched, it responds through the Frank-Starling mechanism, which enhances its contractile force. This physiological response occurs because stretching increases the overlap of actin and myosin filaments within the muscle fibers, leading to a stronger contraction. Additionally, the increased preload from stretching can elevate stroke volume, improving overall cardiac output. However, excessive stretching can lead to detrimental effects on heart function.
Are there muscle in the body that do not need stretching?
eyelash muscle
How the golgi Tendon reflex enhance PNF stretching?
The Golgi tendon reflex is a protective mechanism that inhibits muscular contraction when excessive tension is detected in the tendon. During PNF stretching, activating the Golgi tendon organs through isometric muscle contractions can help to temporarily relax the muscle, allowing for a greater stretch to be achieved. This reflex helps to prevent injury by limiting the amount of force exerted on the muscle during stretching.
Are there Stretching exercises for teres minor muscle?
There are stretching exercises for the teres minor muscle. Any stretches involving the shoulder or shoulder blade will stretch the teres minor muscle.
Why stretching a muscle beyond its optimal length reduce its ability to contract?
Stretching a muscle beyond its optimal length reduces its ability to contract. This is because the muscle can be torn or damaged.
What tipe of Stretching that uses neuromuscular reflexes to gain further stretching of the muscle is called?
PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) Stretching. Once the muscle elongation is controlled and the danger of tearing is past, the muscle then relaxes. During this phase, the muscle is more relaxed and, thus, able to stretch further. This is the principle on which PNF stretching is based. In addition to stretching the muscle fibers, PNF also has the advantage of training the stretch receptors of the muscles to become accustomed to the muscle's greater length, allowing the muscle to elongate further without resistance.

What are two types of static stretching?
Two types of static stretching are active static stretching, where the individual uses their own muscles to hold a stretch position, and passive static stretching, where an external force such as a partner or prop is used to help stretch the muscle.
What is muscle boundness?
This refers to overdeveloped muscles. It can be a direct result of adding muscle mass in short period of time without any stretching or high endurance training. The most common parts of the body affected by muscle boundness include chest, back and traps.
What is an unsafe method of stretching?
Ballistic stretching is considered unsafe. Ballistic stretching is stretching with fast jerky movements, snapping the muscle to its limits very quickly instead of slowly and gently stretching it.
Stretch involves stretching an antagonist muscle using only the tension on the agonist muscle?
Stretching an antagonist muscle through the tension of the agonist muscle is a technique often used in proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching. In this method, the agonist muscle is contracted, which causes the antagonist muscle to relax and lengthen due to reciprocal inhibition. This allows for a deeper stretch of the antagonist without the risk of injury that might come from direct stretching. Overall, this approach enhances flexibility and range of motion effectively.
What property of muscle tissues improve with stretching?
Mass
