1 Preface In 1964, at the beginning of my PhD studies at Southern Illinois University, I was first introduced to the theory and practice of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF). One specific application, reversal of antagonists, particularly intrigued me, and served as the focus of not only my dissertation, but also numerous research projects, presentations, and publications over the ensuing years, including the monograph Scientific Stretching for Sport (1973). This was the first publication to present a simplified, planar version of reversal of antagonists for enhancing flexibility. Although I was repeatedly encouraged by friends and colleagues to write a more extensive text, I knew that more laboratory research, methodological fine-tuning, clinical information, and significant changes to the conceptual foundations, were needed before a truly meaningful book could be written. Throughout my 36 years at Dalhousie University, I have been fortunate to have had a number of excellent graduate students whose theses contributed much of this needed material. Their work has been published in numerous academic journals and is referenced throughout this text. However, it was not until I was joined in this project by my coauthors that this book became fully realizable. Tom Pelham is one of Canada s leading physical therapy researchers. His productivity has been outstanding, with 60 publications (and senior authorship on 40 of them) over the past 15 years. Impressively, he has achieved all of this without the advantage of an academic post, having spent these years as a clinical physical therapist. In addition to much of the laboratory research, Tom contributed to the literature searches, and is responsible for the clinical applications in this book. Jason Holt has been involved in this research since his undergraduate years at Acadia University. Concepts from his ongoing, extensive literature reviews have served as the basis for our new definition of flexibility, helped identify significant errors in many of the research articles we have addressed, and shaped our critical assessment of theories advanced and positions held by those considered leaders in the field. In addition to his ix
2 x Preface semantic/conceptual contributions, his original writing and editing have made this book much more cohesive and concise than it would have been otherwise. It is owing to his efforts that the book reads as if from a single voice. For this book to be the definitive guide we envision, we think it necessary not only to cover the topic, but to provide a fresh perspective, one that challenges current thinking and professional practice, from the conceptual foundations of research to the practical applications of various techniques in a number of domains. Our objective is to encapsulate in one volume all of the pertinent information on this topic and present it in a clear, concise, and accessible manner. Unlike other books on flexibility, this one is based on 40 years of research by the senior author, including 15 years of collaboration with the coauthors, years of clinical and practical experimentation, extensive feedback from diverse professionals, and a thorough and critical examination of the works in the field. From the theoretical foundations of tissue adaptation, including our fascia hypothesis, to the full gamut of stretching protocols, this book will establish a new understanding of this most important physiological property. The book is divided into two sections, practical and theoretical. Readers may choose those chapters that suit their particular interests and needs. Coaches, athletes, personal trainers, and others interested in practical applications might choose to focus on Chapters 1 to 6, whereas physicians, physical therapists, athletic trainers, osteopaths, chiropractors, as well as other medical and paramedical professionals, might focus on Chapters 7 to 10. Clinical health researchers, physical educators, kinesiologists, sport and exercise scientists, and others who devote a good deal of their professional lives to this topic, may instead prefer a close reading of the entire book.

3 2 Stretching the Major Muscle Groups of the Lower Limb In this chapter, we present appropriate stretching exercises for the major muscle groups of the lower limb. All four methods (3S, yoga, slow/static, and dynamic) are covered.* The method referred to as passive partner stretching (Figures 1-9 and 1-10) is often used in therapeutic settings. We do not recommend its use in recreational activities, fitness programs, or in sport, and is omitted from this and the following chapters on general stretching exercises. For more on therapeutic stretching techniques, see Chapter 9. *Exercises to be done on both limbs.

Holt Humana Press Inc., Totowa, NJ 23
4 24 2. Stretching the Major Muscle Groups of the Lower Limb Exercise 1 Hip Extensors (3S Method) Figure 2-1. Muscles to be stretched (biceps femoris, semimembranosus, semitendinosus, and gluteus maximus). It should be remembered that isometric contractions of 60% maximum voluntary isometric contractions (MVIC) or greater will maintain the isometric strength capabilities of the muscle group being stretched (agonist). S P Figure S hip extensor stretch (position and initial phase of exercise). The individual being stretched (S) is lying on his/her back, with one leg on the floor, the other leg raised as high as possible, (pain free) both legs remain straight throughout the exercise. The partner (P) is on one knee, with the opposite foot on the floor and the shoulder against the back of the exercise leg. P holds the non-exercising leg to the floor. Figure S hip extensor stretch (position and middle isometric phase of exercise). During the isometric phase, S contracts the hip extensors/hamstrings against P. That is, S attempts to push his/her raised leg to the floor. P resists this effort, causing an isometric contraction. After a 4-second build-up and a 6-second submaximal contraction, S relaxes the hip extensors/hamstrings (2 seconds). Figure S hip extensor stretch (position and end phase of repetition 1). Next, S pulls the leg (hip flexion) toward his/her head by concentrically contracting the hip flexors. P assists with light pressure (reposition phase). This takes 3 seconds, for a total of 15 seconds. The hip extensors/hamstrings are in the new lengthened position. Repeat the procedure 3 times from the new lengthened positions. 4 reversal of antagonists, each taking 15 seconds, are performed, for a total of 60 seconds.
5 Flexibility: A Concise Guide 25 Exercise 1 Hip Extensors (Alternative Methods) Figure 2-5. Yoga stretch. From a kneeling position, slowly assume the posture depicted. Perform a series of slow inhalations/exhalations, stretching further with each exhalation (30+ seconds). Figure 2-6. Slow/static stretch. S is lying on back (knees, back, and head are supported). In a slow and smooth motion, S flexes at the hip the (straight) leg to be stretched (direction of arrow). The hands (or towel) are placed behind the hamstring for support. S moves the leg as far as possible (pain free). S holds end position for 30+ seconds, then returns to the initial position. S repeats the above procedure on the opposite side. A total of 3 stretches per side are performed. Note: do not move the head forward during the motion. Figure 2-7. Dynamic stretch (start and finish position of exercise). From supine position lying flat on mat. Figure 2-8. Dynamic stretch (position at full stretch). Flex one hip at the desired speed to end of range. Return to start and repeat (5 to 10 reps).
6 26 2. Stretching the Major Muscle Groups of the Lower Limb Exercise 2 Hip Adductors (3S Method) Figure 2-9. Muscles to be stretched: adductor brevis, adductor longus, adductor magnus, gracilis, and pectineus). S P Figure S hip adductor stretch (position and initial phase of exercise). S is sitting with ideal back posture, legs straight and as far apart as possible. P is positioned in front of S, resting on one knee with the opposite foot on the floor, holding both S s legs above the ankles. Figure S hip adductor stretch (position and middle isometric phase of exercise). S attempts to bring her/his legs together (adduct hips), knees remain straight, limbs remain in neutral position, back posture is maintained. P resists. Figure S hip adductor stretch (position and end phase of exercise). After the 4-second build-up and a 6- second submaximal isometric contraction, S relaxes for 2 seconds, then spreads his/her legs (abducts hip joints) 3 seconds. P assists with light pressure. The hip adductors are in the new lengthened position. Repeat the procedure 3 times from the new lengthened positions.

Perform a series of slow inhalations/ exhalations, stretching further with each exhalation (30+ seconds). Figure Slow/static stretch (position of exercise). S is sitting maintaining an ideal posture. In a slow and smooth motion, S spreads (direction of arrows), legs as far as possible (pain free). S holds end position for 30+ seconds before returning to initial position. S repeats the procedure 3 times. Figure Dynamic stretch (start and finish position of exercise). Lying supine, hands by side, legs vertical. Figure Dynamic stretch (position at full stretch). Abduct both legs simultaneously at the desired speed (5 to 10 reps).
8 28 2. Stretching the Major Muscle Groups of the Lower Limb Exercise 3 Hip Flexors (3S Method) Figure Muscles to be stretched (iliacus, pectineus, psoas, rectus femoris, and sartorius). P S Figure S hip flexor stretch (position and initial phase of exercise). S is lying prone with the exercise leg flexed at the knee and raised as high as possible (pain free). P is behind S, resting on one knee, with the opposite foot on the floor slightly above the left buttock, holding the lower thigh and pressing down on S s posterior pelvis. Figure S hip flexor stretch (position and middle isometric phase of exercise). S attempts to pull his/her knee downward to the floor. P resists. Figure S hip flexor stretch (position and end phase of exercise). After the 4-second build-up and a 6-second submaximal contraction, S relaxes for 2 seconds, then lifts the leg higher (3 seconds). P assists with light pressure. The hip flexors are in the new lengthened position. This increased range also involves anterior pelvic tilt and lumbar hyperextension. Repeat the procedure 3 times from the new lengthened positions.
9 Flexibility: A Concise Guide 29 Exercise 3 Hip Flexors (Alternative Methods) Figure Yoga stretch. Assume lunge position, arms overhead as depicted. Perform a series of slow inhalations/exhalations, stretching further with each exhalation (30+ seconds). Figure Slow/static stretch (position of exercise). S in semi-lunge position, maintaining ideal back posture. In a slow and smooth motion, S further flexes the forward leg, maintaining the back knee on the floor. The hands may be used for stability. S avoids rotating the pelvis. S moves forward (direction of arrow) as far as possible (pain free). S holds end position for 30+ seconds before returning to initial position. S repeats the procedure on the opposite side. A total of 3 stretches per side are performed. Figure Dynamic stretch (start and finish position of exercise). Normal standing posture. Figure Dynamic stretch (position at full stretch). Extend hip joint, at desired speed maintain balance by angling trunk forward (5 10 reps). Some anterior tilt and lumbar hyperextension will accompany this activity.
