Active Isolated
Stretching (AIS) is a scientific
stretching method developed by Aaron L. Mattes. AIS
utilizes precise movements to isolate a specific area to
be stretched. Once in the proper position, the stretch
is held for 1.6 to 2 seconds, released, and then
repeated 8-10 times in a set. AIS is
widely used by Doctors, therapists and athletes to
increase the body's potential to heal and increase
performance.
AIS
can make substantial improvements in muscle elasticity,
adding renewed life and spring to tired out old muscles.
Deep muscle stretching has allowed even Olympic athletes
to transform incredible strength into explosive power. AIS
also can help prevent injury. It reduces the workload in
most sports by removing tightness so you can swing your
limbs more freely. It transports oxygen to sore muscles
and quickly removes toxins from the muscles, so recovery
is faster. AIS works as a deep tissue
massage technique because it activates muscle fibers
during stretching.
