Static Stretching

Dynamic Stretching

Propioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation

Static stretching is stretching muscles slowly in order to lengthen them where their movement is limited.

Dynamic stretching is stretching that moves joints through their full range of motion to mimic a movement used in a sport or exercise.

PNF is a series of movements that combine stretching with alternating contraction and relaxation of muscles.

Stretching should be done before as well as after working out or playing a sport.

The physical activity you engage in determines which muscles you must stretch.

Stretching after an activity will provide additional relief from muscle soreness.

I hope this presentation has given you a better understanding of how and when to stretch your muscles properly.
