What does static stretching involve?

  1. Rapid, bouncing movements

  2. Holding a muscle stretch for 30 sec x 2-3 sets

  3. Only breathing exercises

  4. High-intensity interval training

The correct answer is: Holding a muscle stretch for 30 sec x 2-3 sets

Static stretching involves holding a muscle stretch for 30 seconds, usually repeated for 2-3 sets. This helps to improve flexibility and range of motion. Option A, rapid bouncing movements, would be considered dynamic stretching, which has been shown to be less effective in improving flexibility and can increase the risk of injury. Option C, only breathing exercises, does not involve any stretching at all. Option D, high-intensity interval training, is a type of cardiovascular exercise and does not involve any stretching.
