The Best Type of Stretching to Improve Limb Range of Motion
53:27 - 1:07:11 (13:44)
Static stretching, including PNF, is more effective than dynamic and ballistic stretching for increasing limb range of motion. The recommended number of sets for static stretching to improve range of motion without risking injury or excessive time spent stretching is discussed.
