Ballistic Stretching: Is It Safe?
This is because ballistic stretching involves bouncing or jerking the muscle into a stretched position, which can put excessive strain on the muscles, tendons, and ligaments. This can lead to tears, strains, and other injuries. Additionally, ballistic stretching can cause the muscles to contract reflexively, which can make the stretch less effective and increase the risk of injury.
Instead, it is recommended to use dynamic stretching, which involves moving the body and muscles through a full range of motion in a controlled manner, without bouncing or jerking. Dynamic stretching is a safer and more effective way to prepare the body for exercise and reduce the risk of injury.
