  5. 2. BALLISTIC- Bouncing stretches.

  6. 3. PROPRIOCEPTIVE NEUROMUSCULAR FACILITATION (PNF)- These are assisted stretches using the help of another person. Mainly done by top athletes after they have performed their static stretches.

  11. PHYSICAL FITNESS- STAMINA, STRENGTH AND SUPPLENESS

  12. COOL DOWN The cool down gradually returns the body to its normal temperature and the working pulse rate to the resting pulse rate. It helps to prevent stiffness and soreness in the muscles by dispersing lactic acid. In order to return the pulse to its resting rate, a similar activity could be used as the one to warm-up.
