1
Q
Relative flexibility
A
The tendency of the body to seek the path of least resistance during functional movement.
2
Q
Dynamic stretching
A
Stretching performed to simulate normal, functional movement.
3
Q
Autogenic inhibition
A
The process where tension impulses are greater than contraction impulses, leading to relaxation of the muscle. Occurs with self-myofascial release stretching.
4
Q
Self-myofascial release (SMR)
A
Applying gentle force to an adhesion “knot,” changing the elastic muscle fibers from a bundled position to a straighter alignment in the direction of the muscle or fascia
