Correct answer is I and III only .
After performing the "hold-relax with agonist contraction" PNF stretch for the hamstrings, the resulting increase in flexibility .
autogenic inhibition
reciprocal inhibion
PNF stretching allows for relaxation of the stretched muscle by stimulating , When golgi tendon receptors are stimulated, they cause inhibition of the muscle being stretched, leading to greater relaxation of the muscle.
