......Why Stretching is
Necessary During Exercise?......
Stretching is necessary during exercise as it prepares the body
for further difficult exercises. It helps in preparing the
muscles for daily exercise. Stretching should be done before and
after exercise in order to reduce the risk of injuries. Sudden
and stressful exercises may lead to muscle tear, but stretching
provides gentle flexibility to the muscles before and after
exercising.
Stretching acts as a foundation and is the primary and basic
step before exercising. Human body becomes stiff without
exercising regularly and so it is highly recommended to prepare
the body by stretching before and after exercising. Stretching
after exercises creates a smooth end and relaxes the body gently
before carrying on with other daily work.
Stretching helps in recovery from injuries. It heals the damaged
muscles slowly and safely. Physical therapist and doctors
recommend stretching as it cures many kinds of injuries.
Stretching provides flexibility to the body which in turn
modifies the body to perform many other difficult exercises and
strengthens the body. Stretching improves the body’s ability to
work fast and keeps us active throughout the day. It provides
more flexibility to hip flexors and quads.
Stretching improves circulation in body which ensures transfer
of all nutrients to all parts of the body. Stretching needs to
be done properly in order to loosen and stretch the tight
muscles. The stretching of the body should be done in a relaxed
way so that not much of pressure is exerted on muscles. It is
normally not painful, but if pain persists during stretching,
then it is advisable to consult the doctor.
Stretching helps in building strength effectively and resolves
the twisted nerves allowing it to expand easily. Stretching is
therefore important before and after exercise to ensure a gentle
start and a smooth end.
