STRETCHING AND ITS BENEFITS
Journal Title: The Annals of the “Ştefan cel Mare” University. Physical Education and Sport Section. The Science and Art of Movement - Year 2009, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Stretching, one of the most effective ways of improving muscular elasticity and increasing contraction strength, acts especially on the active elements of the locomotor apparatus – muscles - and less on passive elements - tendons, ligaments, bones. Used both in warming up as well as post effort recovery, stretching exercises have several objectives: • increasing muscular elasticity; • improving joint mobility; • activating some muscular groups that tend to shorten their length in case of long-term effort.
