What is the role of inhibition in PNF stretching?

Inhibition is the opposite of the gate control theory.
Inhibition contracts the muscle and relaxes the opposing muscle group.
Inhibition relaxes all of the muscle groups.
Inhibition relaxes the muscle and contracts the opposing muscle group.

Answer:

Hey there !! Here is ur Solution ~ .

Inhibition contracts the muscle and relaxes the opposing muscle group .

Step-by-step explanation:

  • In PNF stretching, not only are the muscles and tendons stretched, they are also contracted at this elongated length, decreasing the nociception, or pain that is sensed that causes inhibition.

  • produced by the GTOs. The GTOs adapt to the increase in length and force threshold, which allow for greater force production.

Hope this helps !!
