Ballistic stretching - correct answer-rapid, usually jerky and
bouncy movements that force the muscle to lengthen, effective
under controlled circumstances but possible muscle damage
when performed too fast or on an unsupportive surface, plastic
elongation can result in loss of joint stability
Dynamic stretching - correct answer-similar to ballistic
stretching but moves joints through range of motion in a
functional controlled manor without rapid bouncing; uses
movement speed, momentum, and muscular effort to increase
joint range of motion
Better before workouts
Weight training and flexibility - correct answer-if you weight
train using full range of motion, will maintain flexibilty
