6 Questions
What is the rationale behind the Hold Relax technique?
To relax the muscle using autogenic inhibition
What does the Slow Reversal-Hold-Relax technique involve?
Isotonic contraction of agonist followed by isometric contraction of antagonist
During which phase in the Contract Relax technique does the athlete actively contract the antagonist?
After contracting the agonist
What happens to the antagonists during the relax phase in the Slow Reversal-Hold-Relax technique?
They are relaxed
In Hold Relax, what role does autogenic inhibition play in muscle relaxation?
It promotes muscle relaxation
How long does an isometric hold last in the Hold Relax technique?
At least 6 seconds
Explore the Hold Relax technique in muscle stretching where the antagonist muscle undergoes isometric contraction followed by a hold for at least 6 seconds. Learn how this technique helps in achieving passive lengthening and relaxation of the tight muscle.
