Swedish term or phrase: tänja v sträcka
Hello
I'm looking for the difference between these two words in the context of sport/ fitness.
They are SEPARATE headings in a chart describing body movements so the author clearly sees a qualitative difference.

Many thanks

dynamic stretching vs. static stretching


Explanation:
Dynamic stretching is done after a proper warm-up to prepare for a run for example, and static stretching is done after the run to increase flexibility and to cool down the body.

ballistic stretching vs active stretching


Explanation:
Ballistic stretching is stretching by bouncing into (or out of) a stretched position.
Active stretching is stretching the muscle as far as you can and holding the position for 20-30 seconds.
