In a program to build flexibility, each static stretch should be held for two minutes.

False.

Explanation:

Studies state that 30 and 60 seconds of static stretching are effective in increasing flexibility in a program to create flexibility. Less than 30 seconds will have no effect and more than 60 seconds can impair muscle performance in activities performed immediately after stretching.

Stretching is intended to give elasticity and increase the range of muscle movement. Thus, by stretching, the muscle is stretched and its fibers adapt to this condition, helping to avoid injury during exercise. Two types of stretching are beneficial for improving flexibility. They are: static and dynamic.

The static is the one where the exercises are done with the body at rest. Unlike the dynamic, where small impulses are introduced, certain movements
