What are the differences between active and passive exercises?

Active exercises involve the individual actively engaging their muscles, while passive exercises are performed by someone else or with assistance.

Can you give me examples of each type?

Sure! An example of an active exercise is doing squats, while a passive exercise could be a partner stretching your leg.

Which type is better for rehabilitation?

Active exercises are generally better for rehabilitation as they promote muscle strength and coordination, but passive exercises can help with flexibility.

How often should I do these exercises?

It depends on your goals and condition, but generally, incorporating both types several times a week can be beneficial.
