Explanation
Answer: D- If a participant experiences sharp pain during a stretch he or she should be told to release the stretch immediately. Stretching is most safely and effectively practiced when muscles are stretched in a comfortable and safe manner, and should not cause pain. Participants should not be encouraged to push past the point of any pain or discomfort or injury may result. Sharp pain during a stretch can also be a sign of an underlying injury, which could be aggravated by continued stretching.
