Not exact matches

Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching works because it makes use of autogenic and reciprocal inhibition.

Autogenic inhibition, (aka «reverse myotatic reflex») refers to a reduction (or inhibition) in excitability of a contracting muscle.

The proposed mechanisms of PNF stretching involve two neurophysiological phenomena referred to as autogenic inhibition and reciprocal inhibition (Sharman, Cresswell & Riek 2006).

In a contemporary review article, Gordon Chalmers (2004) argues that the historical explanation of autogenic and reciprocal inhibition is convenient, but research in recent decades denotes that a much more complex neuromuscular response is in play.

Thus, in the contract phase of the contract - relax PNF stretch, the target muscle is contracted, which elicits autogenic inhibition.
