• Proactive Neuromuscular Flexibility

• Passive Neuromuscular Flexibility

What is the intensity level for flexibility training?

• Just beyond the point of resistance

• At the point of pain

• Maximum stretch

• Below the point of resistance

How long should each stretch be held during flexibility training?

• 5 to 10 seconds

• 10 to 30 seconds

• 1 to 2 minutes

• 30 to 60 seconds

What is the difference between static active and static passive stretching?

• Static active uses momentum, static passive does not

• Static active is done by the athlete, static passive involves a partner

• Static active is held longer than static passive

• Static active is safer than static passive

What is a disadvantage of static stretching?

• It is time-consuming

• It requires special equipment

• It is unsafe

• It can reduce explosive strength

What is an advantage of isometric stretching?

• It is the fastest method

• It is easy to perform

• It requires no partner

• It inhibits the stretch reflex

What is a disadvantage of isometric stretching?

• It is time-consuming

• It can cause injury to the connective tissue

• It is not effective

• It requires special equipment

What is the key characteristic of dynamic stretching?

• Partner involvement

• Holding a stretch for a long time

• Controlled movement without momentum

• Using momentum

What is the key characteristic of ballistic stretching?

• Holding a stretch for a long time

• Partner involvement

• Controlled movement without momentum

• Using momentum
