Both types of hurdle stretches loosen up the hamstring in the same way. But the hurdle stretch with the leg pointed back puts sideways torque on the back knee and can result in injury. So while the potential benefit of the exercises are the same, one risks serious injury to the knee.
  • Why should you allow a minimum of 24 hours of rest between intense stretching activities?
  • Explain why head circles and arm circles are considered dangerous exercises.
  • Describe a potential risk that distinguishes hurdle stretches performed with the leg pointed back from hurdle stretches with the leg inside.
  • Explain why it is important to stretch slowly and why bouncing during stretching is very dangerous.
A. frequency, intensity, time, and type
  • The standing toe touch is most likely to result in __________.
  • A full stretching session should take between __________.
  • The FITT principle stands for __________.
  • The chest-and-arm stretch squeezes __________.
B. arm circles
  • Which of the following is a ballistic stretching exercise?
  • The chest-and-arm stretch squeezes __________.
  • A full stretching session should take between __________.
  • The standing toe touch is most likely to result in __________.
D. a hyperextended knee
  • The standing toe touch is most likely to result in __________.
  • A full stretching session should take between __________.
  • Which of the following is a ballistic stretching exercise?
  • The chest-and-arm stretch squeezes __________.
D. the shoulder blades together
  • The FITT principle stands for __________.
  • The chest-and-arm stretch squeezes __________.
  • The standing toe touch is most likely to result in __________.
  • A full stretching session should take between __________.
Stretching a muscle slowly prevents it from overextending and being damaged. When stretches occur too quickly, such as with bouncing, the muscle can be seriously damaged during the uncontrolled motions.

  • Explain what is meant by balance stretching.

Both head circles and arm circles involve stretching with motion. These stretching exercises risk serious injury to the muscles of the neck and shoulders if the motions are not trictly controlled. When the head goes back, it hyperextends the neck, which is dangerous; despite not involving bouncing, arm circles are a ballistic exercise and should not be performed.
