Today I want to talk about two main types of stretching — Static vs Dynamic

.

Is one better than the other, Dr. Amy?

.

No – but I do believe we need BOTH!

.

[Going to nerd-out on this topic for those who are interested in the deep deets]

1) STATIC STRETCHING

• Focuses more on the tendon aspect of the muscle-tendon connection to the actual bone
• Advantageous to get into end-range positions
• Personally, I like to static stretch within the cool-down routine

2) DYNAMIC STRETCHING

• Focuses more on the muscle spindle aspect of the muscle belly
• Advantageous to “prime” the working muscles for performing a specific movement pattern with better efficiency
• Personally, I like to dynamic stretch within the warm-up routine
