CSCS Practice Question #235
TEST-RESULTS: A sprinter demonstrates adequate ROM in hip flexors and hamstrings but shows decreased ankle plantarflexion ROM (tightness in calf) affecting running mechanics. The athlete currently stretches statically for 60 seconds per muscle group before sprinting. What is the MOST appropriate modification?
A. Increase static stretching to 90 seconds before sprinting to maximize ROM
B. Limit pre-sprint static stretching to 15-30 seconds for the calf; perform dedicated static stretching (longer durations) after practice when muscle temperature is elevated to avoid compromising sprint performance while addressing the tightness
C. Eliminate all stretching before sprinting; perform only during cooldown
Answer in the poll, then explain your rationale below in the comments! I'll follow up with my breakdown of the question after enough people have responded.
From Chapter 14: Warm-Up and Flexibility Training
DCO Code: 4.F2
