stretching tension that is then quickly abandoned. Some
Thai boxers train in rhythmic bouncing with such small
steps that you can hardly see their movements.
In the process of dynamic stretching, perform the
exercise so that you initially take on slight tension, and
from that position repeat the exercise ɹve to ten times
while cautiously increasing the extent of your movements
each time. Afterward, relax the muscles that were used.
Use dynamic stretching to prepare your body for
movements with a large range of motion. Before dynamic
stretching exercises you should thoroughly warm up your
body, as the method runs the risk of injury by bouncing
beyond slight stretching tension. This method is primarily
used by advanced athletes who have already a well-
developed sense of perception of their bodies.
Execution of Stretching
- From a position of slight tension, carry out little
bouncing movements to a deeper stretched position,
and then return to the original position. - Carry out ɹve to ten moves while trying to extend the
stretch position until you have reached the maximum
range of motion. - Carefully pull out of the stretched position.
