Improving Flexibility and Strength with Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation |
Provides a detailed overview of the basic principles, concepts, and techniques involved in proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF). In an easy-to-understand manner, the video explains and shows how PNF can be effectively employed to develop both flexibility and strength. Topics include: stretch reflex, autogenic and reciprocal inhibition, muscle action (concentric, eccentric, isometric), PNF stretching and strengthening techniques, as well as rhythmic initiation and stabilization. Produced in cooperation with the National Strength and Conditioning Association. 20 minutes. |
