Stretching - Stretching technique | | Stretching - Stretching technique: Encyclopedia II - Stretching - Stretching technique | | | The most effective stretching targets individual muscles. Most body motions involve a primary muscle (the agonist) assisted by secondary muscles (the synergists), which collectively impose a stretch on the opposing muscle (the antagonist). For example, when bending the leg, the hamstring (agonist) and gastrocnemius (synergist) are contracted, thus stretching the quadriceps (antagonist).
Taking this interrelation of muscle groups into account, a common sequence of stretches is as follows:

Stretching - Stretching technique
The most effective stretching targets individual muscles. Most body motions involve a primary muscle (the agonist) assisted by secondary muscles (the synergists), which collectively impose a stretch on the opposing muscle (the antagonist). For example, when bending the leg, the hamstring (agonist) and gastrocnemius (synergist) are contracted, thus stretching the quadriceps (antagonist).
Taking this interrelation of muscle groups into account, a common sequence of stretches is as follows:
- back
- sides
- neck
- forearm and wrists
- triceps
- chest
- buttocks
- groin
- thighs
- calves
- shins
- hamstring
