Describe what ballistic stretching is and why it’s harmful. then, provide at least two examples of how one should properly stretch?

answer and description;

-ballistic stretching is using motion to bounce and stretch your body past its natural range of motion. this stretching uses the momentum of a moving body or a limb in an attempt to force it beyond its normal range of motion. this can be harmful if you don't have a professional to you because you can tear, damage, or pop your tendons, ligaments, or joints.

-this type of stretching is not considered useful and can lead to injury. it does not allow your muscles to adjust to, and relax in, the stretched position.

-some examples of how to properly stretch would be to do dynamic stretching in which you move your joint through its range of motion, or to do static stretching which does not involve movement, but maintains an extended position.
