What creates a sensation of lengthening in the muscle during flexibility training?

  1. Performing a stretch at high intensity

  2. Performing a stretch at the appropriate intensity

  3. Avoiding stretching pre-training

  4. Stretching without guidance

The correct answer is: Performing a stretch at the appropriate intensity

Flexibility training is all about finding the balance between intensity and duration in a stretch. Performing a stretch at high intensity may cause injury and not result in an increased sensation of lengthening in the muscle. Avoiding stretching pre-training can also limit flexibility gains and may lead to risk of injury. Stretching without guidance may lead to improper technique and not effectively target the intended muscle group. Therefore, the most appropriate option is to perform a stretch at the appropriate intensity, which allows for a safe and effective increase in muscle flexibility.
