1
New cards

What is PNF?

a stretching technique utilised to improve muscle elasticity

2
New cards

Name two types of prorioceptors

muscle spindles and golgi tendons

3
New cards

Define muscle spindles

these detect how far and how fast a muscle is being stretched and produces a stretch reflex

4
New cards

When are golgi tendons activated?

when there is tension in a muscle

5
New cards

When do gogli tendons work?

When the muscle is contracted isometrically

6
New cards

List the order for PNF stretching

Stretch, isometrically contract, relax, repeat

7
New cards

What do the golgi tendon organs over ride?

the stretch reflex

8
New cards

What is the stretch reflex?

to contract the muscle
