*
5 points
a. It is still recommended and it is okay to stretch this way.
b. Ballistic stretching involves bouncing the body while stretching a muscle group past its current flexibility. For example, instead of reaching slowly and gradually extending your body towards your toes in a straddle stretch, you would bounce 4-5 times towards your toes. This can result in strained or torn muscles or ligaments.
