PNF Stretching - a Safe, Effective Method for Greater Flexibility Gains

[@barry0044]

how do i increase mobility/flexibility for hurdle sprinting(hips, attack leg), javelin throw(the shoulders)

[@dylanl9532]

If you were a child gymnast, and that's how much flexibility you got left then you shouldn't be teaching flexibility at all. Then again, what kind of mobility / flexibility studio have cardio machines?

Questionable comment. Like you know her full story... Also, who carres about the setting? Mind the message, not the messenger instead?

I've pretty much replaced static stretching for this. With static stretching I was always loose but an advantage of pnf stretching is having the strength to put a muscle through a full RoM and increase end range strength

[@The88logan]

I love it!

[@The88logan]

Do know of any good studies on PNF stretching?

[@seanconnery5289]

Judge by results, not be theory ;)

[@privtprofile24]

@@seanconnery5289 studies are results lol?

[@hmm6088]

Has anyone tried this and knows it works? Thanks.

[@marcinp6659]

what ?

[@terrytibbs1040]

not a fan of static stretching proceeds to do static stretches

[@mxmilkiib]

because a PNF stretch is defined as a static stretch followed by an isometric contraction (as demonstrated in the video)?

[@kyoutube9646]

static stretches are part of the pnf stretching process doofus
