Ais??

[stuck185]

I am working on my NASM-CPT and was wondering if I could get some input from the pro's. I am a little confused about AIS. I have read the breif descriptoin in the text and other materials and have searched the web a little to try and understand this as much as possiable. But I feel like this is a very big topic. And the little bit I am learning about it wont be enough


why only hold the stretch for 1 to 2 seconds?

Where can I learn more AIS techniquies?

Is the Mattes method really where it all started?

Do any of you have your clients do AIS?

Thanks!

Active Isolated Stretching is loved by some, ignored by others.

Here is a good quick read about it

Sorry I couldn't be more informational, I have been training for 10 years and have never used AIS and I don't remember more than 1 question being on the the nasm-cpt test.
