But it is very important to include stretching or flex- ibility training for any sport and especially skiing. Stretching increases your range of motion for a particular joint. By isolating and stretching the muscles surrounding a joint, you can improve your range of motion. Having a good range of motion in your joints and being limber helps enormously to prevent injury and also helps your joints feel better generally. There are three types of stretching most commonly used: Static, ballistic, and PNE Ballistic stretching involves a bouncing motion with high force, which is counterproductive to elongating the muscle. PNF aie an initial isometric contraction for about 10 seconds, followed by a static stretch and then repeated several times. Static stretching is the slow, gradual, congeticn of a muscle and then holding the stretch. Here we give some basics for stretching and then some basic static stretches, emphasizing the joints used in skiing. GETTING STARTED * Always warm-up before you stretch. Never go into a stretch cold. Stretch before and after your conditioning and your skiing. ¢ Make sure the motion is comfortable to you. It should always feel good - it should never hurt. ° Wear clothing that allows enough movement. ° Modify each stretch to suit your needs and abilities. * Hold each stretch for 20 to 30 seconds at a minimum.
