To maintain gains in ROM achieved as the result of a stretching program, it is recommended to:
A)Use the stretch-induced gains in ROM during functional activities as soon as able on a regular basis.
B)Perform daily resistance training of the muscle group opposite the stretched muscle.
C)Apply heat on a daily basis to the lengthened muscle groups.
D)Perform daily resistance training of the stretched muscle.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Using the stretch-induced gains in ROM during functional activities on a regular basis is the most effective way to maintain the flexibility gained through stretching. Continuing to stretch regularly will also help maintain flexibility, but performing daily resistance training of the stretched muscle or the muscle group opposite the stretched muscle is not necessary for maintaining gains in ROM. Applying heat on a daily basis may temporarily increase flexibility but will not contribute to maintaining gains in ROM in the long term.
