I would be very grateful if someone could help explain PNF stretching to
me as I find most textbooks/websites confusing and giving different
messages.
As an example can I use quad/hamsrings as an example ?
When the leg is stretched there will be passive shortening of the quads
and lengthening of the hamstrings.
Am I correct in assuming at this point there is no activation of GTOs
at this stage ? If there is GTO activation is it physiologically
relevant ? Does it affect the quads or the hamstrings or both ?
Next, is the siometric contraction of the quads ? I guess this leads to
activation of the GTOS and subsequent realaxation of the quads. But does
it affect the hamstrings ?
Thanks very much for any help you can give me.
