    • It reduces the risk of injury and improves posture.
    • It improves blood circulation and the flow of nutrients to the muscles.
    • It reduces muscle tension and stress.
    • Increases range of motion and improves sports performance.
  2. What happens during stretching?
    • During stretching, the muscles stretch and relax, which increases their length.
    • Stretched muscles allow a greater range of motion in the joints.
  3. How exactly does stretching affect joints and muscles?
    • Stretched muscles become more flexible and less tense.
    • The joints get a greater range of motion and become more mobile.
  4. How long do you need to stretch in one session to be effective?

    • Lack of stretching can lead to reduced flexibility, increased risk of injury and limited range of motion.
  8. What feeling when stretching is acceptable?
    • A feeling of slight tension or stretching is acceptable.
    • Pain or discomfort is not desirable and you should stop stretching if you feel any of these sensations.
