Discuss whether ballistic stretching is a good choice for a flexibility-training program
What will be an ideal response?
Controlled ballistic stretching is adequate and not injurious for most flexibility training programs. There may also be circumstances in which, after initial warm-up, that more vigorous ballistic movements (calisthenics) would be specific to training objectives. The purpose of training is of central importance in determining the effectiveness and drawbacks of any preparatory and exercise training technique. Ballistic stretching should not be used if slow-sustained (static) stretching or PNF flexibility training is a better choice.
