Answer:

It is the most common and practical type of stretching.

Step-by-step explanation:

Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) is a very common and practical method of stretching that promotes and accelerates the response of neuromuscular mechanisms through the stimulation of receptors in the nervous system. It is based on the use of movements and postures for therapeutic purposes and seeks to understand movement and normal posture to perform learning or relearning when these movements or posture are altered.
