Emphasis will be placed on flexibility, balance, spatial awareness, and safety during stretching. Technique modifications to account for physical limitations will be emphasized. A brief examination of the evolution of the various forms of stretching reflecting cultural, gender, and age differences, exercise physiology, nutrition, and wellness concepts related to total fitness, disabilities, and/or genetics will be covered.
