  3. A proper warm-up is specific to the sport or activity, and stretching is an integral part of any warm-up. The warm-up prepares the athlete for practice or competition and decreases the risk of injury.

  4. Factors Affecting Flexibility Joint structure Age and sex Connective tissue Weight training with limited range of motion Muscle bulk Activity level

  5. Frequency, Duration, and Intensity of Stretching Each practice session should be preceded by 5 to 6 minutes of general warm-up and 8 to 12 minutes of sport-specific stretching. Sessions should conclude with 4 to 5 minutes of stretching. Individual stretches should be held to the point of mild discomfort, but not pain, for 30 seconds.

  6. When Should an Athlete Stretch? Before practice and competition Following practice and competition

  7. Types of Stretching Static stretch Ballistic stretch Dynamic stretch Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretch

  8. Chap 16 Definitions • General Warm-Up: 5-10 min slow jogging or riding a stationary bicycle increases heart rate, blood flow, deep muscle temperature, respiration rate, viscosity of joint fluids and perspiration. This increase in muscle temperature allows greater amount of flexibility. • Specific Warm-Up: Incorporates movements similar to the athlete’s sport. Involves 8-10 min of activity or sport specific stretches, such as shoulder stretches for volleyball or baseball • ROM: Range of motion is affected by connective tissue structure, activity level, age and gender.

  9. Static & Dynamic Flexibility • Static Flexibility: Requires no voluntary muscular activity. An external force such as gravity or a partner provides the force to stretch. • Dynamic Flexibility: Requires voluntary muscular action. • Static Flexibility provides GREATER ROM than dynamic flexibility.

  10. Proprioceptors and Stretching • Stretch Reflex: During a rapid stretching movement the Ia fibers from the muscle spindle cause increased activation of the muscle that was stretched and its synergist. This causes the muscle to shorten. THIS SHOULD BE AVOIDED • Careful static stretching does not invoke the stretch reflex • Mechanoreceptor: GTO is sensitive to muscle tension. When stimulated it causes the muscle to relax.

  11. Autogenic Inhibition & Reciprocal Inhibition • Autogenic Inhibition: Relaxation in the same muscle that is experiencing increased tension. Autogenic inhibition is accomplished by actively contracting a muscle immediately before a passive stretch of the same muscle. • Tension built up during the active contraction stimulates the GTO, causing a reflexive relaxation of the muscle during the subsequent passive stretch. • Reciprocal Inhibition: Relaxation that occurs in the opposing muscle experiencing increased tension. • This is accomplished by simultaneously contracting the muscle opposing the muscle being passively stretched. • The tension in the contracting muscle stimulates the GTO and causes simultaneous reflexive relaxation of the stretched muscle

  12. Types of Stretching • Static Stretch: A slow constant stretch with the end position held for 30 sec. • Ballistic Stretch: Involves active muscular effort and uses a bouncing motion in which the position is not held. • Dynamic Stretch: involves flexibility during sport-specific movements. Similar to ballistic in that it utilizes speed of movement, but avoids bouncing. • PNF: Usually performed with a partner and involve both passive movement and active (concentric and isometric) muscle actions. • PNF may be superior to other stretching methods because they facilitate muscular inhibition.

  13. Ch. 2 (TLTP) The Ballistic Warm-Up • Muscle Viscosity – As the Blood flow to the muscle increases, it warms the muscle up and makes it more flexible.

  14. Goals Become warmed Flexible Rehearsal of activities on the field Teach proper mechanics Series of bounds, hops, skips, runs, and ballistic stretches Gradual progression Joint mobility – ballistic stretches – Flex runs/skipping – multidirectional activity – power moves Dynamic Flexibility

  15. Ch. 4 (TLTP) Stretching and Flexibility • Reduce tension in the hips and glutes • Increase Speed

  16. Increase Core Temp, Muscle Temp. and Blood Flow Used before as a warm-up before Running Slow small motions to Large & fast movements Should break a slight sweat Holding a stretch for 8-15 sec. Always done after a thorough warm-up Must exhale and relax as eased into the hold position Typically done after running, but before lifting Cool Down Allow the body time to rid itself of lactic acid Be limber and Flexible for Resistance Training Dynamic & Static

  17. Stretching & Flexibility:The Bottom Line • Spend more time on need areas • The key is frequency • Stretch every day • Stretch before bed • Increases blood flow and circulation • MUSCLES ARE FLOOODED WITH NUTRIENT RICH BLOOD • HELPS REPAIR AND RECOVER FATIGUED MUSCLES • Sleep better – stretching releases endorphins; make you feel relaxed and loose.

  18. Begin with a passive pre-stretch 10 sec Hold-Relax PNF Partner applies force & athlete holds to ‘resist’ the movement 6 sec The final stretch should be of greater magnitude due to autogenic inhibition Athlete relaxes and a passive stretch is held for 30 sec

  19. Begin with a passive pre-stretch 10 sec Contract-Relax PNF Athlete does a concentric contraction thru a a full ROM against resistance The final stretch should be of greater magnitude due to autogenic inhibition Athlete relaxes and a passive stretch is held for 30 sec

  20. Begin with a passive pre-stretch 10 sec Hold-Relax with Agonist Contraction PNF The hold-relax with agonist contraction PNF technique is the most effective due to facilitation via both reciprocal inhibition and autogenic inhibition Partner applies force & athlete holds to ‘resist’ the movement 6 sec Athlete contracts the agonist (quads) to provide additional stretching force and a passive stretch is held for 30 sec
