Static stretching considered optimal for increasing limb range of motion
1:07:11 - 1:16:01 (08:50)
Experts suggest holding static stretches for 60 seconds, five minutes per week, distributed through multiple sessions throughout the week to increase limb range of motion, as losing flexibility due to lack of dedicated work is a possibility.

The importance of improving range of motion over time to prevent loss of flexibility and limb range of motion, and the ideal number of sets per week (6-10) for building muscle size and strength, with specific parameters varying between individuals, are discussed.

Summary
Static stretching is rising to the top of the list as the optimal approach to increase limb range of motion, at least in the context of short-term improvements. Time spent stretching per week seems fundamental to elicit such improvements.

Holding static stretches for 30 seconds, but repeating the holds three times in a session, can improve limb range of motion.

Summary
Holding static stretches for 30 seconds, but repeating the holds three times in a session, can improve limb range of motion. It is recommended to achieve five minutes per week of those static holds, but not all in one session, to achieve the best results.
