Describe a potential risk that distinguishes hurdle stretches performed with the leg pointed back from hurdle stretches with the leg inside.
Click card to see definition 👆
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.

Describe a potential risk that distinguishes hurdle stretches performed with the leg pointed back from hurdle stretches with the leg inside.
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.
The FITT principle stands for __________.
A. frequency, intensity, time, and type
The chest-and-arm stretch squeezes __________.
D. the shoulder blades together
The standing toe touch is most likely to result in __________.
D. a hyperextended knee
Why should you allow a minimum of 24 hours of rest between intense stretching activities?
As with any exercise, stretching stresses the muscles of the body. In order to avoid muscle fatigue or injury, sufficient rest is needed between workouts. For moderate to intense stretching, 24 hours of rest is generally sufficient, but for more intense workouts, 48 hours of rest between workouts may be necessary.
Explain why it is important to stretch slowly and why bouncing during stretching is very dangerous.
Stretching a muscle slowly prevents it from overextending and being damaged. When stretches occur too quickly, such as with bouncing, the muscle can be seriously damaged during the uncontrolled motions.
Explain why head circles and arm circles are considered dangerous exercises.
Both head circles and arm circles involve stretching with motion. These stretching exercises risk serious injury to the muscles of the neck and shoulders if the motions are not trictly controlled. When the head goes back, it hyperextends the neck, which is dangerous; despite not involving bouncing, arm circles are a ballistic exercise and should not be performed.
A full stretching session should take between __________.
D. ten and twenty minutes
Which of the following is a ballistic stretching exercise?
B. arm circles
Explain what is meant by balance stretching.
Balanced stretching refers to performing stretching exercises across the entire body. Stretching the entire body balances the fitness benefits across all muscle groups instead of limiting the benefits to a single or limited number of muscle groups.

Stretches You Should Never Do Again (Including the Hurdler Stretch)
Stretches aren't one size fits all, but here are five (including the hurdler stretch and that classic hamstring stretch) that aren't worth your time or could actually end causing more harm than good.

5 Stretches You Can Go Ahead and Never Do Again

Sorry to your middle school P.E. teachers, but that hurdler stretch (and a bunch of others!) they told you to do after every workout isn't doing much for your tight muscles.

Skip These Stretches

You know stretching and mobility work have a ton of benefits. (It’s even the entire focus of some fitness classes.) But you still need to have a game plan when it comes to what stretches you should be doing, how you should be doing them, and what stretches and techniques to avoid.
"Stretching can be harmful if a joint is pinched, a nerve is stretched, or support structures like ligaments are stretched rather than the targeted muscles," says Rick Richey, faculty instructor at the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM). Stretches aren't one size fits all, but here is a handful that truly wastes your time or might even put you at higher risk of injury (including that hurdler stretch your gym teacher made you do).

Hurdler Stretch
CREDIT: WESTEND61/GETTY IMAGES
You might remember this stretch from middle school gym class—and the knee pain that followed. It's the move where one leg is stretched in front and the other is bent awkwardly behind you. Bending the non-stretched leg behind your body places a great deal of stress on the stabilizing structures of the knee, says Richey, about why the hurdler stretch isn't so hot. (Check out other potential causes of knee pain, plus learn how to get rid of it for good.)

Sit and Reach Stretch

The sitting part is where there's a real potential for trouble with this hamstring stretch. "It's easy to try to compensate for stiff hamstrings by rounding the spine (which defeats the purpose)," says Richey. "Plus, the sit and reach also often stretches the nerves behind the knee and into the calves more than the hamstring."

Wall-Supported Calf Stretch

Depending on the strength of your ligaments and muscles, "bending your foot against a wall might harm your arch and plantar fascia," says Richey. (Related: The Best Recovery Tools to Help Ease Plantar Fasciitis Pain)

Posterior Deltoid Stretch
In short, there's really no need for this arm-across-the-chest stretch. "I have never worked with or even seen someone with tightness or overactivity in this muscle," says Richey, and since the goal of stretching is to loosen up taxed muscles, you'd be better served taking that time to hit another stiff spot. If you're feeling a pull in your upper back when you perform this stretch, it could mean you need to work on your thoracic spine mobility. Here's why.

Hip Flexor Stretch
CREDIT: FOTOSTORM/GETTY IMAGES
You'd do this stretch to loosen tight hip flexors. Problem is, having tight flexors probably means you'll do the move wrong—you'll likely arch your lower back and raise one hip, making the stretch, inactive. (P.S. Try this if your hip flexors are sore AF)
