What is the appropriate spring tension for an adductor stretch?

The appropriate spring tension for an adductor stretch is two springs. In this exercise, the goal is to support the body while adequately loading the resistance to facilitate a deep stretch in the adductors, which are the muscles located on the inner thighs.

Using two springs offers a balanced level of resistance that allows for a controlled movement while also ensuring the participant can maintain proper alignment and stability. If the spring tension is too light, the strength of the muscles may prevent the stretch from being effective, and if it’s too heavy, it could lead to compensatory movements or difficulty in accessing the stretch.

This level of resistance also helps in engaging the core muscles, which assists in maintaining proper positioning during the stretch. Therefore, two springs provides an optimal balance for safely achieving the desired outcome of the adductor stretch.
