Static stretches for tight muscles

Static stretches relax muscles, therefore only stretch the muscles that are tight. Make sure that you stay warm when doing static stretches. These stretches should be done after training and games also.

Dynamic stretches

Dynamic stretching is good for “waking muscles up” to get them ready to work hard. This involves moving your limbs through the full range of motion that they will be used in during the game or training. Dynamic stretching should follow a period of 5-10 minutes of aerobic exercise such as jogging, cycling and skipping. They should be done prior to the sport specific skills part of your warm-up.
