\nStretching in general, is either dynamic (meaning they involve motion) or static
\n(meaning they involve no motion). Dynamic stretches affect dynamic flexibility
\nand static stretches affect static flexibility (and dynamic flexibility to some
\ndegree). Just as there are different types of flexibility, there are also
\ndifferent types of stretching. When done properly, stretching can do more than
\njust increase flexibility. Benefits of stretching include:

\n*enhanced ability to learn and perform skilled movements
\n*increased mental and physical relaxation
\n*enhanced development of body awareness

\nlubricate connective tissues
