What is AIS ?
AIS stands for Active Isolated Stretching. AIS is a maximum 2 second stretching method that has profound results. Aaron Mattes created Active Isolated Stretching 35 years ago and continues to refine it. Aaron Mattes is an advisor/consultant to Olympic athletes, sports teams, and college and professional athletes. He received his Master of Science in Kinesiology and Exercise Science from the University of Illinois. AIS like Pilates involves very specifically identifying & isolating muscles. Active Isolated stretching can be performed with the assistance of an 8′ rope or strap and or an AIS therapist. Muscles are isolated in a relaxed state and than incrementally stretched for no more than two seconds. Complete release of the stretch occurs after each stretch with no more than 10 repetitions. With each release after a 2 second stretch, pathways are opened to the muscle – blood flows in nourishing the muscle while metabolic waste flows out.
AIS stands for Automatic Identification System. It was introduced by the IMO (International Maritime Organization) to improve safety in the maritime traffic. All ships equipped with AIS transponders exchange their current movement data such as position, course and speed as well as other additional information via the VHF channels 87B and 88B. In professional shipping, the system is already part of the equipment requirements for SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea).
