A client reports acute soreness and tightness in her calf muscle after a long run. She
describes feeling knots in the muscle. Which of the following flexibility techniques
should the client use first?
Select one:
a. Dynamic stretching
b. Self-myofascial release
c. Active-isolated stretching
d. Static stretching - ANSWER-Self-myofascial release
Active flexibility - ANSWER-Designed to improve the extensibility of soft tissue and
increase neuromuscular efficiency by using reciprocal inhibition
Type of stretching: Self-myofascial release, (active isolated)
Examples: Foam roll, active adductor stretch
Active-isolated stretch - ANSWER-The process of using agonists and synergists to
dynamically move the joint into a range of motion
