importance of stretching before & After Workout!
Stretching helps to:
• Reduce muscle tension, and make the body feel more relaxed.
• Increase the range of motion.
• Prevent muscle strains: a strong pre-stretched muscle resists stress better than a strong unstretched muscle.
• Prevent joint strains.
• Reduce the risk of back problems.
• Prepare the body for strenuous exercise.
• Increase ‘body awareness’.
• Promote circulation.
• For females, reduces the severity of painful menstruation (dysmenorrhea).
• Increase the learning, practice, and performance of many types of skilled movements.
• Reduce muscular soreness.
You should not stretch if:
• There has been a recent bone fracture, sprain or strain.
• The range of motion is in some way limited.
• The joint is inflamed or infected.
• If you have signs of osteoporosis.
• You experience pain when the joint is moved or the muscle is stretched.
• You are suffering from certain diseases of the skin or blood.
