Dynamic stretching, according to Kurz, "involves moving parts of your body and
gradually increasing reach, speed of movement, or both." Do not confuse dynamic
stretching with ballistic stretching! Dynamic stretching consists of controlled leg and arm
swings that take you (gently!) to the limits of your range of motion.
Static stretching consists of stretching a muscle (or group of muscles) to its farthest
point and then maintaining or holding that position.
Isometric stretching is a type of static stretching (meaning it does not use motion) which
involves the resistance of muscle groups through isometric contractions (tensing) of the
stretched muscles
PNF stretching is currently the fastest and most effective way known to increase static-
passive flexibility. PNF is an acronym for proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation. It is
not really a type of stretching but is a technique of combining passive stretching and
isometric stretching in order to achieve maximum static flexibility.
dynamic flexibility
Dynamic flexibility (also called kinetic flexibility) is the ability to perform dynamic (or
kinetic) movements of the muscles to bring a limb through its full range of motion in the
joints.
Static-active flexibility (also called active flexibility) is the ability to assume and
maintain extended positions using only the tension of the agonists and synergists while
the antagonists are being stretched.For example, lifting the leg and keeping it high
without any external support (other than from your own leg muscles).
