Extended data:
Stretching exercise is a fitness method, which can make the coordination between ligament muscles and joints softer and reduce the possibility of injury. Including active stretching and passive stretching.
The so-called active stretching refers to keeping the movement in a specific position mainly by the strength of muscle contraction, rather than other external forces. The advantage is that it can increase the flexibility of action and the strength of muscle contraction. The so-called passive stretching refers to using one's own weight or equipment to keep the limbs in a certain stretching posture. This is a slow and relaxing stretching, which can also be expected to reduce the excitability of nerves and muscles. This is a good way to relax after exercise.
