Luka Kovacevic:
Roughly said, do you think that CARs, PAILs/RAILs are more effective than dynamic flexibility during warm up from the injury prevention/reduction standpoint? I guess both are needed…
Frank Duffy:
I would say CARs are more effective prior to a workout because it’s slow, controlled, dynamic movement. Whereas, PAILs/RAILs have a static component due to the isometric nature of what we are trying to acomplish. “Passive inputs yield passive results”, that’s one of my favorite quotes from FRC.
