Ballistic stretching, which uses the momentum of a moving body or a limb in an attempt to force it beyond its normal range of motion[1], is thought to be the oldest stretching method, however, many trainers have discontinued use of this method due to safety concerns.[2] In instances where the sport or event requires ballistic movement, ballistic stretches should be employed as part of the warm up.
