STATIC STRETCHING

Static stretching is a type of stretching that involves holding a stretch for a set amount of time, typically 15-30 seconds, without any movement. The aim of static stretching is to gradually increase the flexibility of the muscle and connective tissue by gradually lengthening it. It is often performed as part of a warm-up or cool-down routine, and can help to improve range of motion, reduce muscle tightness, and prevent injury. Static stretching is best performed when the muscles are warm, and should be done gently without bouncing or forcing the stretch, as this can lead to injury.






DYNAMIC STRETCHING

Dynamic stretching is a type of stretching that involves moving the body through a full range of motion in a controlled and repetitive manner. It is performed with a specific movement pattern and is intended to improve flexibility and performance by preparing the muscles for physical activity and increasing blood flow. Dynamic stretching is typically performed before a workout or athletic activity and is done in a fluid and controlled manner, rather than holding a stretch in a static position. This type of stretching can help to improve range of motion, flexibility, coordination, and balance, as well as reduce the risk of injury. Dynamic stretching is a more active form of stretching compared to static stretching and may be more appropriate for activities that require a high level of muscular control and coordination.
