Amazing Benefits Of Stretching by 9jatrend: 6:35am On Aug 18, 2015 |
Stretching offers immense benefits for the body, particularly the muscles, tendon and joints. As you exercise and workout intensely, the fibers in the muscles get torn, as they heal, we get healed of the soreness and become stronger but without stretching, they will heal and become tight putting you at a high risk of injury when you train or workout. Stretching basically is a natural action that happens instinctively; people stretch their bodies after being in a state of inactivity for a long period, e.g, stretching after sitting or lying for a long time. Stretching can also be done as a warm up before any physical training v or after to reduce soreness or injury of muscles, joints and tissue. Stretching gives these benefits: Flexibility: the muscles of the body becomes shorter and tighter as you age and carry on with physical activity without stretching, this makes movement become less fluid which could cause you to be prone to strains and injury. Flexibility enables you exercise or move easily with no feeling of tightness. It reduces stress: the muscles contract when the body is stressed and become tensed. This tension of the muscle affects most parts of the body, stretching causes a release of endorphin and makes you feel better. It fights fatigue: blood pools in muscles when they stay inactive which impacts you negatively by causing you to feel tired. Stretching enables blood to flow round the body and makes the brain to be very active. Stretching helps to correct poor posture, by lengthening tight muscles that might have pulled certain parts of the body from their right positions. During stretching, the lower back muscles, shoulders and chest helps to keep the spine in alignment as it should be, thus posture is enhanced. Stretches such as hip twists, toe touches are good warm ups for training or exercises. |
