Stretching
Reduces Fatigue as Well as Other Benefits
Stretching is a simple and effective activity that helps
to enhance athletic performance, decrease the likelihood of injury and minimize
muscle soreness.
Reduced
Fatigue
Fatigue is a major problem for
everyone, especially those who exercise. It results in a decrease in both
physical and mental performance. Increased flexibility through stretching can
help prevent the effects of fatigue by taking pressure off the working muscles,
(the agonist). For every muscle in the body there is an opposite or opposing
muscle, (the antagonist). If the opposing muscles are more flexible, the
working muscles do not have to exert as much fore against the opposing muscles.
Therefore each movement of the working muscles actually take less effort.
Added
Benefits
Along with the benefits listed
above, a regular stretching program will also help improve posture; develop
body awareness; improve co-ordination; promote circulation; increase energy;
and improve relaxation and stress relief.
