What is the best application of PNF stretching?
Evidence-based research provides the following recommendations (Sharman, Cresswell & Riek 2006): - Duration of static contraction of the target muscle is 3–15 seconds.
- Contraction intensity of the target muscle is 20%–70% (see #7). The researchers note that there is evidence that progressive increases in intensity (within the 20%–70% range) may provide greater gains in ROM.
- No studies have investigated opposing muscle contraction intensity for PNF stretches in this phase.
- One complete repetition seems to be sufficient (i.e., onecontract-relax or one contract-relax agonist-contract stretch).
