Question

Describe a potential risk that distinguishes hurdle stretches performed with leg pointed back from hurdle stretches with the leg inside.

Answer 1

Both types of hurdle stretches loosen up the hamstring in the same way. But the hurdle stretch with the leg pointed back puts sideways torque on the back knee and can result in injury. So while the potential benefit of the exercises are the same, one risks serious injury to the knee.

Answer 2

You may not be flexible and hurt your key badly and can lead to a lot of pain
