Benefits of Static Stretching
Improved Flexibility:
Static stretching involves holding a position for a prolonged period, allowing muscles and tendons to lengthen. This elongation increases flexibility, enabling a more comprehensive range of motion during exercises and daily activities. [1]
Reduction in Muscle Tension:
By elongating muscles and tendons, static stretching helps alleviate muscle tightness and tension. This reduction in tension aids in preventing injuries, as muscles are more pliable and less prone to strain during workouts or physical activities.
