What Is It? Stretching that consists of functional, sport specific movements that prepare the body for activity. This includes short stretches
(2-3 second holds) that involve controlled arm and leg movements that guide you gently through your range of motion.

the nervous system and helps reduce risk for injury. This type of stretching is best utilized before activity while static stretching should be
used to cooldown after activity.
