15. Static stretching a stretch is held in a
challenging but comfortable position for a period of
time , usually somewhere between 30 to 60 seconds.

16. Dynamic stretching a stretch is performed by

moving through a challenging but comfortable range
of motion repeatedly usually 10 to 12 times.

17. Passive stretching means you’re using some

sort of outside assistance to help you achieve a
stretch. (The assistance could be your body weight, a
strap, leverage, gravity, another person, or a
stretching device.)

18. Active stretching means you’re stretching a

muscle by actively contracting the muscle in
opposition to the one you’re stretching. You do not
use your body weight, a strap, leverage, gravity,
another person, or a stretching device. With active
stretching, you relax the muscle you’re trying to
stretch and rely on the opposing muscle to initiate the
stretch.

connective tissue which connects two bones or
cartilages or holds together a joint.(Bone to Bone)

20. Tendon a flexible but inelastic cord of strong

fibrous collagen tissue tissue attaching a muscle to

21. Cartilage is a flexible connective tissue that

impact.
