Write 6 pages thesis on the topic stretching and warm-ups in the sport and exercise science. Ballistic is one of the general exercising techniques. Herbert and de Noronha (2009) confirm that though the oldest technique. it can still find its way in exercise activities where individuals engage in repeated bouncing movements. However, experts abandoned the technique citing safety concerns. Another useful stretching technique is the dynamic method that is common with warm-ups (Woods, Bishop, & Jones, 2007). In this case, the individual mimics a particular exercise but uses it in a controlled manner. It is always advisable to engage in dynamic stretching when preparing for sports events (Amiri-Khorasani, Osman & Yusof, 2011). Nonetheless, static stretching can help with exercise and warm-ups. Herbert and de Noronha (2009) also confirm that the technique involves passive stretching of a particular muscle to mild discomfort levels where an individual holds the stretched muscle for a longer period. The method is the most preferred due to its effectiveness and safety. In fact, static stretching is the best technique for warm-ups and mild exercises. However, the most common and celebrated technique in exercise and warm-ups is the PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) (Fernández-Seguín et al., 2013). In this case, an individual collaborates with the other to help in alteration of relaxation as well as the contraction of antagonist and agonist muscles. PNF involves push phase of around 10 seconds then a relaxation phase for the same period (McGrath, Whitehead, & Caine, 2014). However, experts attribute the technique greater flexibility thus the research focuses on outlining some of the PNF techniques.&nbsp. &nbsp.&nbsp.
