Question

Static stretches are part of an effective cool down because they can help
a. improve performance
b. decrease blood flow
c. prevent overload
d. increase range of motion

Answer 1

The answer is letter D. 

Static stretches are part of an effective cool down because it can help increase range of motion in joints. It is advisable to perform static stretches after a workout because it reduces the chances of getting muscle pains, it increases the blood flow to surrounding joints of the body, and it removes lactic acid build-up within the muscles. Never stretch a cold muscle before a workout because this may lead to injuries. It is always an important part of a training regimen and should not be taken lightly by individuals as to prevent injuries and improve performance.  

Answer 2

d. increase range of motion

Static stretching is stretching which is done by stretching the skeletal muscles and holding the movement for a few seconds.

Further Explanation

Stretching is the activity of stretching the skeletal muscles to reduce muscle stiffness or increase flexibility (flexibility) so that the skeletal muscles are ready to make more and faster physical exercise movements (muscle contractions).

There are two types of stretching, namely static stretching and dynamic or ballistic stretching.

• Static stretching is stretching which is done by stretching the skeletal muscles and holding the movement for a few seconds.
• Dynamic or ballistic stretching is stretching that is done by repeating muscle stretches or reflecting these movements for several times.

Static stretching is common in all types of sports or physical exercises, both cardiorespiratory exercises (endurance, aerobic exercise), resistance training (strength and endurance muscle training or weight training), balance and coordination exercises, such as relaxed walking, jogging, cycling, swimming, aerobics, to forms of games such as tennis, golf, soccer, futsal, badminton, and basketball.

Whereas dynamic or ballistic stretching is usually done if we want to do physical exercises that have a lot of ballistic movements or muscle stretches in a very short or sudden and with relatively large energy. Usually, this type of exercise is physical exercise in the form of a game. However, it is still advisable to do static stretches before dynamic, because the risk of injury due to dynamic or ballistic stretching is greater than static.
