When a muscle moves, several things have to happen at once. In the simplest form, let's say you are extending you hand in friendship and thus "stretching" your arm outward. The primary skeletal muscles in this movement would be the biceps brachii and it's companion, the triceps brachii. According to the 3rd Law of Motion, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. If the biceps contracts, the triceps relaxes and vice versa. To extend your arm the triceps will be in contraction and the biceps will be relaxed or "stretched out".
stretched or excersised.
Improve your mobility.
Elasticity refers to the ability of a tissue to return to its original shape after being stretched, while contractility is the ability of a muscle to contract or shorten. These properties are important in maintaining the structural integrity and function of tissues and muscles in the body.
The ability to be stretched is referred to as elasticity. It describes the property of materials to return to their original shape and size after being stretched or deformed. Materials like rubber and certain types of metals exhibit high elasticity.
passive stretching
yes. muscles allow your bones to move. if you didn't have muscles, you'd be skin stretched over bones lying in a heap on the ground.
Yes it does because your muscles are pulled and therefore stretched :)
malleability and tensile strength.

The figure four stretch targets and stretches the gluteus maximus and piriformis muscles in the buttocks.
Muscle strain
if you're on OdysseyWare your answer would be Active stretching.............. =)
