Chapter 5 Lesson 3: Dynamic Stretching
When does a client perform dynamic stretching?
Before an workout or exercise, OR in between sets that may better activate the tissue
Normal ROM for ankle/foot
Dorsiflexion: 10-20 degrees Plantarflexion: 45 degrees Inversion: 30 degrees Eversion: 20 degrees
What is dynamic stretching?
Dynamic stretching involves constant, controlled motion through a full ROM to stimulate blood flow and warm-up the desired muscle group.
Normal ROM for Hip
Ext. Rotation: 45 degrees Int. Rotation: 35-40 degrees Flexion: 90-120 degrees Extension: 15-30 degrees Abduction: 30-45 degrees Adduction: 30 degrees
Normal ROM Shoulder
Flexion: 160-180 degrees Horizontal flexion: 135 degrees Extension: 40-60 degrees Horizontal extension: 45 degrees Internal rotation: 90 degrees External rotation: 90 degrees Abduction: 160-180 Adduction 50-75 degrees
Requirements for dynamic stretching?
No significant muscle imbalances and or overly muscle tightness.
Who is dynamic stretching mainly for?
Recommended for individuals without significant muscle tightness
