What most research studies do not show
is whether the improvement is specifically
attributed to the stretching, or if it is caused
by the increased distance the muscles must
extend to reach the next level. Most athletes,
weightlifters and others realize the importance
of stretching, so their performance will
improve, but just how much of an effect can be
attributed to stretching remains somewhat of a
mystery.
Stretching is fairly easy and can be done by
any people, regardless of age. However, the
extent of stretching and flexing differs. The
muscles tighten as a person ages, which can
very well obstruct an on-the-go lifestyle. This is
why stretching regularly as part of a routine is
very important.

Stretching the muscles or joints provides
many physical benefits. When done properly,
it decreases the tension in the muscle or
joint, which provides an increase in flexibility.
The increase in range of motion provided
by stretching also helps to increase the
effectiveness of an exercise. Stretching is
also used to increase overall muscle and joint
mobility. It allows more muscles to be activated
during each repetition of an exercise, which
makes the body work harder and the muscles
work smarter.
Another benefit of stretching regularly is
improved flexibility. As previously mentioned,
stretching improves range of motion, which
allows more muscles to be activated during
each repetition of an exercise. Regular
stretching also helps to strengthen muscles
through elongation, which improves musclestability.
Regular stretching also helps to prevent
injury from occurring. By stretching regularly,
you are better able to avoid overexertion
and injury, which are especially important for
athletes who often work their whole bodies
into motion, frequently changing directions
during each repetition.
There are multiple mechanisms by which
stretching routines increase overall circulation.
The decreased blood flow to muscles is a
common cause of soreness, because increased
circulation allows the injured area to repair
itself more quickly. Additionally, increased
blood flow helps to improve the overall
strength of muscles through recruitment of
more muscle fibers. Finally, the decreased
blood flow that occurs with inflammation is
a mechanism by which stretching routines
increase blood flow to the injured area. The
increased circulation that is caused by an
improved blood flow helps to relieve pain and
prevent further injury.
One of the ways stretching can also help
prevent injury is because of its ability to
improve your posture. Proper posture is
important for your overall health, but many
people neglect their back pain and other
