Question: Explain the difference between static stretching and ballistic stretching?
Static stretching involves holding a stretch in a stationary position for a period of time, typically 20-30 seconds, and is considered a safe and effective way to improve flexibility and reduce the risk of injury. Ballistic stretching, on the other hand, involves bouncing or jerking movements that force a stretch beyond its natural range of motion and can increase the risk of injury. It is not recommended for most people, particularly those who are not already highly flexible or experienced in stretching techniques.
