Stretching (from the English "stretching" - stretching) - these are special exercises aimed at developing the flexibility of the whole body. You can strengthen tendons, normalize blood circulation, take care of your health in general. Stretching can be done both in a specially equipped room and at home. All you need is a gym mat, which will provide you with the best conditions for your workout.
1. Posture and symmetry An
imbalance in muscle development and a decrease in the flexibility of certain muscle groups contribute to a violation of posture and significantly impedes the work of restoring the correct biomechanics of movements.
2. Injury Prevention
The small elasticity of the muscles and connective tissue limits the mobility in the joint and can cause injury when trying to perform a movement with a large amplitude.
3. The increase in strength indicators A
a reasonable increase in mobility in the joint will increase the amplitude of the exercise and improve the technique of its implementation, which will lead to increased effectiveness.
4. Acceleration of the recovery process.
Stretching the muscles helps to improve metabolism. After stretching, blood circulation improves locally. This speeds up the process of delivering the necessary substances and removing the decay products formed after training. Static stretching triggers the parasympathetic nervous system, which helps speed up recovery.
5. Relieve stress and tension
Stress is the body’s response to stimuli perceived as a threat. It affects the body both positively and negatively (headaches, pressure, joint pain, neurosis). Exercise and stretching, including helping to get rid of the negative effects of stress.
6. Muscular relaxation
Muscles at rest should be relaxed. If partial tension (contracture) persists, the muscle loses its ability to absorb when a person moves. Energy costs are increased to maintain this tension, blood circulation is disturbed, there is a lack of nutrients and oxygen, and the amount of toxins increases, which leads to painful sensations. Muscles atrophy due to excessive continuous work. The muscle is designed for rhythmic rather than continuous work. Continuous work leads to the development of fibrous structures to the detriment of muscle fibers. An additional tool for muscle relaxation is also a myofascial release.
