Question

which of the following stretches the neck?
(1 point)
shoulder shrug
calf stretch
hurdler stretch
straddle stretch

Explanation:

To determine which exercise stretches the neck, we analyze each option:

• Shoulder shrug: Involves moving the shoulders up and down, which engages and stretches the neck muscles (like the trapezius) as the shoulders' movement is connected to the neck.
• Calf stretch: Focuses on stretching the calf muscles (lower leg), not the neck.
• Hurdler stretch: Primarily targets the hamstrings, inner thighs, and lower back, not the neck.
• Straddle stretch: Targets the inner thighs, hamstrings, and lower back, not the neck.

So the shoulder shrug is the exercise that stretches the neck.

Answer:

A. Shoulder shrug
