1. Flexibility exercises can promote a healthy and perfect figure.
When combining various strength training subjects, such as running, cycling, swimming and rowing, flexibility can provide at least one-third of the necessary help in a complete fitness training system.
2. Flexibility training can reduce the risk of injury.
Most of the injuries caused by daily injuries and sports are trauma, or strain caused by joint sprain and excessive stretching of muscles and related tissues. Wushu athletes who adhere to scientific and regular flexibility training are less likely to get hurt than those who lack flexibility training.
3. Flexibility exercise is a good warm-up or relaxation exercise when combined with other types of training.
In addition to the benefits mentioned above, flexibility exercise can also improve the coordination between nervous system and muscle tissue. If you start flexibility training immediately after completing a certain exercise, you can recover your tired body as soon as possible.
Flexibility exercises can improve your competitive level.
A flexible Wushu player will perform more easily and wonderfully. Can you imagine what a gymnast with stiff muscles would look like? Once athletes have good flexibility, they will have more advantages than other athletes psychologically and physically. Have you ever felt like lying in bed and stretching after waking up in the morning? Very comfortable, isn't it?
Who needs flexibility training? As many other sports physiologists admit, everyone, regardless of gender and age, can have regular flexibility exercises, and there is no age limit. Some elderly people can still do flexible exercises when they can't do other exercises because of orthopedic diseases. Toddlers should also practice flexibility with their parents. All Wushu athletes should incorporate flexibility training into the whole training plan. Generally speaking, women are more flexible than men, and children are more flexible than adults.
