Title: Explain safe techniques to enhance joint range of motion of major muscle groups.
Course: Sports Medicine/Athletic Training II (14062-II) > Section: Preventing Injuries

Explanation should include

- safe stretching techniques appropriate to the targeted muscle groups
- techniques to increase joint range of motion
- a variety of equipment and techniques reflecting age, sport or activity, gender, and other individual considerations
- a description accompanying each demonstrated technique.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What are key elements of safe and appropriate stretching techniques?
- Why are proper stretching techniques important in injury prevention?
- How do static, ballistic, dynamic, and PNF stretching differ? How could each be used in an injury prevention program?
- What types of equipment are used to enhance joint range of motion?
- How is joint range of motion measured?
- How can flexibility be enhanced in situations with little or no traditional equipment?
- How do age, sport or activity, gender, and other individual considerations factor in the development of a flexibility program?
- What is the relationship between the agonist and antagonist in joint range of motion?
