Passive stretching
passive stretching uses an external force to provide the pull for the stretch. The resistance
pull can either be provided by another part of your body, by a partner, or by an object. Similar
to active stretching, you hold the position for a period of time. Passive stretching is often
utilized during recovery from exercise to relax your muscles and connective tissue.
Active stretching
is quite simple to execute, though certain positions may take some practice. This form of
stretching is most often performed following exercise, as part of a mobility workout, or
incorporated into a yoga session. Considering that active stretching doesn’t require any special
equipment, it can be performed virtually anywhere.
