Information about Ballistic Stretching
Ballistic stretching is a form of passive stretching or dynamic stretching in a bouncing motion. Ballistic stretches force the limb into an extended range of motion when the muscle has not relaxed enough to enter it. This may cause injury if not controlled properly or there is no adequate preparation, like warming up.
Some believe that controlled ballistic stretching in the form of bouncing can increase flexibility. This is true to a certain extent, but this could cause injury and is not the safest method of stretching (though it may lead to quick gains). It may also lead to higher levels of flexibility that may not normally be attainable by the limitations of human musculature and connective tissue, through causing tears in the tissues being stretched. For certain individuals this may not be advisable for health reasons.

Passive stretching is a form of static stretching in which an external force exerts upon the limb to move it into the new position. This is in contrast to active stretching.

Injury is damage or harm caused to the structure or function of the body caused by an outside or force, which may be physical or chemical. Injury may also refer to injured feelings or reputation rather than injuries to the body.

Stretching, as theorized in literature, is the deliberate act of lengthening of muscles, in order to increase muscle flexibility and/or joint range of motion (Weerapong et al 189-206).

PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) is often times a combination of passive stretching and isometrics contractions. However, it can also weaken muscles, decrease endurance, slow neuromuscular control and coordination, and decrease joint stability.

Static stretching is used to stretch muscles while the body is at rest. It is composed of various techniques that gradually lengthen a muscle to an elongated position (to the point of discomfort) and hold that position for 10-30 seconds.
