Question 10 • Fall 24 HS Physical Education

Which of the following activities BEST describes proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation?

Answer
A
The stretch involves using an external object to increase muscle strength.
B
The stretch involves using a partner to apply force against your contraction.
C
The stretch involves bouncing to extend beyond the normal range of motion.
D
The stretch involves performing slow, deliberate motions to reduce muscle tightness.

Explanation

Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching commonly uses a partner to provide resistance while you contract the muscle, followed by a stretch. That matches “using a partner to apply force against your contraction.” Bouncing describes ballistic stretching, while slow, deliberate movements are associated with dynamic stretching.
