What is the rationale behind the Hold Relax technique?
What is the rationale behind the Hold Relax technique?
- To contract the tight muscle isotonically
- To relax the muscle using autogenic inhibition (correct)
- To passively lengthen the tight muscle
- To contract the antagonist before contracting the agonist
What does the Slow Reversal-Hold-Relax technique involve?
What does the Slow Reversal-Hold-Relax technique involve?
- Isotonic contraction of agonist followed by isometric contraction of antagonist (correct)
- Isotonic contraction of both agonist and antagonist
- Isometric contraction of agonist followed by isometric contraction of antagonist
- Isotonic contraction of agonist followed by isotonic contraction of antagonist
