Left to their own devices, class members will perform a stretch for a much shorter period than is optimal. The Group Fitness Instructor can help class members perform the most effective stretch frequency and duration by cueing WHICH of the following?
  1. 3-4 bouts of 15-30 seconds.
  2. 2 bouts of 30 seconds
  3. 3-4 bouts of 60 seconds
  4. Any frequency and duration are fine as long as the muscles are being stretched
Explanation
Answer: A - The most effective stretches last 15-30 seconds and should be repeated 3-4 times. Stretches lasting longer than 30 seconds may become uncomfortable and stretches lasting less than 15 seconds may not be effective in increasing tissue extensibility.
