What guidelines are given in regards to intensity and frequency, to improve flexibility? Stretch each muscle group slowly until a feeling of slight discomfort is felt. Hold the position for 20 seconds. Make small bounces while holding a stretching position. Repeat a stretch at least three times.

Answer 1

Answer:

• Stretch each muscle group slowly until a feeling of slight discomfort is felt.
• Hold the position for 20 seconds.
• Repeat a stretch at least three times.

Explanation:

Stretching involves extending the body or a part of it to its full length, usually to tighten the muscles. Thus, when stretching it is important to keep the position slowly for about 20 seconds until there is a little unpleasantness. Repetition improves the fullness of the straightening.

Answer 2

Everything except for small bounces
