Matteo Cervellin, who at the Mapei Sport Research Center provides sports orthopedic / traumatological counseling, talks about stretching. There are different types (ballistic, dynamic, static-passive, static-active and isometric) and, although it is often a “do-it-yourself” practice, it is generally considered to be beneficial having several positive effects on the muscles.
