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.

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 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.


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.
