Enhanced Range of Motion:
Elongated muscles and tendons from static stretching contribute to an improved range of motion. This increased flexibility not only helps prevent injuries but also allows for better performance in various activities requiring a broad spectrum of motion. [2]
Injury Prevention and Recovery:
Engaging in static stretches post-workout or as part of a dedicated flexibility routine aids in injury prevention and recovery. It reduces the likelihood of muscle strains and soreness, facilitating faster recovery after intense physical activity.
