It refers to the range of movement an individual can carry out without assistance Can be static or dynamic. It refers to the range of movement an individual can carry out without assistance When a joint is moved to its ‘maximum’ range and then contracts against a resistance (a partner) before relaxing. This is repeated, allowing the athlete to stretch even further When a joint is moved to its ‘maximum’ range and then contracts against a resistance (a partner) before relaxing. This is repeated, allowing the athlete to stretch even further PNF
