Stretching and its importance
What is Stretching?
Stretching is a form of physical exercise in which a specific muscle is deliberately flexed to achieve a relaxed muscle tone.
Decrease risk of Injury
Regular stretching keeps muscles long, flexible and reduces injury risk.
Improves muscle blood flow
Stretching increases blood flow and boosts oxygen levels.
Reduces lactic acid
During exercise, the body produces lactic acid, and stretching can help reduce the accumulation of lactic acid.
Improves muscle elasticity
Stretching improves flexibility and helps to increase the range of movement.
Reduces stress and anxiety
Stretching can be an effective strategy for preventing stress and anxiety.
