How long would you recommend an athlete to stretch? Provide time per stretch and total set. Provide justification.

For stretching I would suggest no longer than 30 seconds on a movement or hold. We can see with static stretching we should hold from 15- 30 sec and with dynamic stretching we do about 5 to 10 repetitions which is no longer than 30 seconds. But for PNF you could stretch up to 45 seconds. All of these take different times because they have different functions for stretching. Some require greater mobility, flexibility and or a partner. I would suggest holding no longer than 30 seconds by yourself an with a partner no longer than 45 seconds. No more than 2 times holding or doing the movement.
