AIS STRETCHING - What is Active Isolated Stretching? 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 1.5 to 2 seconds, released, and then repeated 8-10 times in a set. AIS has been used by thousands of professional and amateur athletes to increase flexibility and performance while reducing the risk of injury. It is also effective at reducing pain in the human body caused by posture, injury, and inactivity. The body’s general reaction to AIS is currently being studied by the National Institutes of Health.
Active Isolated Stretching: How it Works -There are two primary principles that provide the basis for how AIS works. The first is called reciprocal inhibition, which means that if you want to lift your arm, your nervous system has to shut off the muscles that bring your arm down. This means that AIS involves your nervous system in the stretch, making it easier for the muscles to elongate. The second principle is to hold the stretch for 1.5 to 2 seconds, and no longer. Holding a stretch for longer than 2.5 to 3 seconds will cause your body to engage a protective reflex. This stretch reflex will cause a muscle contraction in the muscle you are trying to stretch. By not tripping the stretch reflex, you are able to get a gentle stretch, without the body fighting itself. The stretch is repeated 8 to 10 times in a set. The repeated “pumping” action of the muscle allows for increased circulation to the area. Because the stretches target highly specific areas of the body, AIS provides an efficient and effective stretch.
Benefits of Active Isolated Stretching:
- Improves flexibility
- Helps to relieve muscle soreness
- Reduces muscle spasm
- Helps to address chronic pain
- Reduces the risk of muscle strain and tearing
- Helps to recover from injury
- Helps to increase athletic performance
- Helps to relieve stress
- Improves oxygen and nutrient delivery to cells
- Helps stimulate lymph circulation and elimination of cellular waste
