Matters needing attention in stretching

1, and select the appropriate stretching time.

Do some dynamic stretching and warm-up activities before training to prepare your body. This helps to improve blood circulation, increase joint flexibility and reduce the risk of injury. After training, static stretching can help relax muscles, promote recovery and increase flexibility.

2. Understand different types of stretching.

Understand different types of stretching methods, so as to choose the appropriate method according to personal needs. Dynamic stretching is suitable for preparing the body, including controlling the range and speed of movement to activate muscles and joints. Static stretching is suitable for relaxing muscles and increasing flexibility, but it is best to do it after training.
