Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
"Lance wants to increase the range of motion in his hips. which of the best cool down strategy for reaching that goal using static stretching? A. quickly swinging arms back and forth for more stress B. intensely holding stretched for five to 10 secs C. slowly increasing the amount of time spent stretching D.gradually extending stretches untill the muscle hurts "
Answer:
C. slowly increasing the amount of time spent stretching
Explanation:
Stretches are exercises aimed at increasing muscle flexibility, which promote the stretching of muscle fibers, causing them to increase their length. The main effect of stretches is to increase flexibility, which is the greatest possible range of motion for a given joint. For this reason, we can say that if Lance wants to increase the width of his hips he should slowly increase the amount of time spent on stretching.
The longer a muscle is stretched, the greater the joint movement commanded by that muscle will be and, therefore, the greater its flexibility. Stretching achieves this result by increasing the temperature of the musculature and by producing small distensions in the connective tissue layer that line the muscles.
