please select the best answer from the choices provided.

a
b
c
d

Explanation:

Analyze the effects of healthy stretching

Healthy stretching should feel like a gentle pull, release tension, and increase range of motion. A slight burning sensation can occur during a deep stretch, but actual muscle pain indicates overstretching or injury.

Evaluate the options

• Option A (tension in the muscles): Stretching helps relieve tension, but mild tension can be felt during the stretch itself.
• Option B (a slight burning sensation): Normal during a deep, effective stretch.
• Option C (muscle pain): Pain is a warning sign of injury and is never an appropriate result of healthy stretching.
• Option D (increased range of motion): This is a primary positive outcome of regular stretching.

Answer:

• A. tension in the muscles
• B. a slight burning sensation
• C. muscle pain (Correct answer)
• D. increased range of motion
