Test Your PNF Stretching Knowledge

• PNF stretching is a technique to increase flexibility
• It involves muscle spindles and GTOs to prevent damage to muscles and tendons
• Personal trainers use PNF stretching to help clients improve their range of motion
• There are three main types of PNF stretching: CR, HR, and CRAC
• Autogenic inhibition and reciprocal inhibition are two processes involved in PNF stretching
• Three to six sets per muscle group are recommended, with progressive stages increasing the range of movement
• The targeted muscles contraction should only last from 6 to 10 seconds at a time
• An individual should work at around 20%-30% subjective muscle contract intensity and build up to 100% over time
• PNF differs from Muscle Energy Techniques (MET) in terms of the percentage of muscle contraction used
• PNF stretching can be learned through personal trainer courses.
