Ray is performing a static stretch activity wherein every stretch is held for at least 30 seconds. Static stretch is done to "elongate an overactive" or tight muscle.
<u>EXPLANATION:</u>
If a static stretch is held for less than "30 seconds", it does not produce the required results.
When a stretch is held for 30 seconds,the muscle fibres and tissues get enough time to release the "tension" and reach the "desired length". This in turn helps the muscle in attaining optimal flexibility.
