A C T I V E stretching

Active stretching is the range a joint can move without external forces helping it. This type of flexibility relies largely on the strength of your muscles fibers to achieve the stretch. Having active flexibility means you have the strength to maintain integrity and stability in your joints, as you are actively moving and engaging one muscle group to stretch another. This requires much more energy than passive stretching. There is less of a chance of over-stretching because you’re moving yourself into the position with strength and control

Why is it important to close the gap? 🤔
Imagine a person who has a lot of passive flexibility in their ankles but very limited active flexibility there. If they ever stumble and twist their ankle into the end of their passive range of motion, they are much more likely to injure themselves, because they don’t have strength (i.e. active flexibility) in the position their ankle twisted into. Therefore they cannot support themselves and protect the ankle joint in the vulnerable position it ended up in.

If you want to become resilient and resistant to injuries in the long run then work on turning your passive flexibility into active flexibility. 💪🏻

P A S S I V E stretching

Passive stretching relies on any external force on a relaxed muscle ie instructor, reformer, bar, a band, the floor. This type of flexibility relies largely on the elasticity of the connective tissues around the muscles. 

Working on passive flexibility will help you increase and maintain a large range of motion in the joint capsule, which is important to your progress in active flexibility.

You are not contracting muscles but keeping the muscles relaxed which requires little energy and is good to do after a workout! It is commonly worked on when your goal is to increase your range of motion past your current comfort with long still holds and breathing to release tension in the body.

You can not build strength and control in a range of motion you cannot access, therefore it is the foundation to building ACTIVE flexibility (which will be looked at in the next post). 🤓

What is your favourite passive stretch post workout? 🤔 ⬇️
