CONT

Don't bounce: Bouncing causes you to pull muscles easier, and never really stretches the muscles. Your stretch should be very slow, and a smooth process.

CONT

CAUTION: Never bounce when stretching (called ballistic stretching). This increases your chances of incurring injury!

  • Conditionnement physique et culturisme
CONT

On ne donne jamais de temps de ressort ou d'à-coups lorsque l'on s'étire. Sinon vous risquez le déclenchement du réflexe myotatique d'étirement. Ce mécanisme neurophysiologique vous empêche de vous blesser en contractant le muscle à étirer et empêche donc un étirement optimal du muscle.

CONT

Ne pas donner de temps de ressort ou d'à-coups lorsque l'on s'étire.

CONT

Important : ne pas faire de temps de ressort mais une descente lente, progressive et complète.
