Research Notes on Ballistic Stretching
Ballistic stretching is a method of stretching, which involves quick, gentle bouncing to force the limb or body beyond its normal range of motion. This type of stretching is most commonly used by professional athletes just before their games, after warming up. Ballistic stretching, however, is not recommended for recreational athletes because it increases the risk of straining or pulling a muscle. A physician should be consulted prior to embarking on any exercise regimen.
