Convert Passive Holds Into Active Stretches
- Turn passive stretches into active ones by contracting the muscle while held at end range.
- Alternate contracting the stretched side and the opposing side to build strength and control in range.
Static Stretching Can Hurt Performance
- Static passive stretching before workouts can increase injury risk and reduce performance.
- Active stretching (isometric or moving through end ranges) is safer and more functional for life and sport.
Ask Stretchers To Add Resistance
- If someone passively stretches you, resist their force and push back to make it active.
- Use graded intensities and then contract the opposite muscles to increase range and control.
