The Importance of Stretching Exercises

Stretching Exercises is the best preparation for workout !


Among the methods of sports training  used, which has recently been used to extend more is stretching exercises. The word of English origin, used as such in many other languages ​​and comes from the verb to stretch (meaning, in this sense, "to work your arms, legs and body are as straight as possible so that your muscles become long and tight). More exactly, we talk about stretching the muscles, the joints, the tendons, the ligaments, etc.


Even before the term itself and the specific methods gained individuality, stretching exercises was used a lot, especially in sports or activities that require a good joint mobility and muscle flexibility Special (gymnastics, martial arts, dance, etc.). Specific positions hatha yoga practiced a source of inspiration for the various movements of the expansion, but these positions have undergone many changes, modifications and simplifications.


The most important effect of stretching exercises is the flexibility of muscles and joints, which allows for greater efficiency in training. There are different views on exactly when stretching in the training are introduced.


So there are authors who support the idea that stretching exercises  seems to support both warm and relaxing, and even for most of the training. On the other hand, there is the opinion that stretching exercises should be done only in the relaxation faze,because the movements that are specific to it induce a state of relaxation that you do not want at the beginning of the training. This state comes as a result of maintaining the passive faze of the positions.


Anyway, everybody agrees that stretching exercises needs to be anticipated by general warming up, this way the practitioner will avoid tightening of the muscles.

General warm-up takes about 5 minutes and it contains aerobic exercises. Stretching the muscles that could not yet warmed dangerous for the integrity of muscle fibers, which could easily burst.
Both weight and resistance training should include stretching exercises; the effectiveness will only increase once this type of movement is done during training.

Another reason for increased efficiency is the fact that a large number of ground units are involved in the movement, and they are faster once mobilized voluntary command transmitted by the pulse subject to muscles. Given that the range of motion is greater, the athlete can cover larger distances, higher areas, savings, at the same time, the energy, which is particularly important in the very sports demanding (athletics, canoeing, etc.).

You can do a whole workout with stretching exercises. However, it is not advisable: the muscles will be used quickly, just relax, without contract, which can create an imbalance.

Another possible negative effect of exaggerated stretching movements (over the physiological limit of a joint) is laxity of the joints or injuries such as sprains, dislocations, tightening of ligaments or tendons, etc..) The main joints (knee, shoulder, elbow, etc.) are protected not only by their own mobility, but also by the elasticity of the muscles themselves surround.

Finally, the distances must be accompanied by other forms of training, so that the athlete will have a fitness program complete and secure form.
