What are the effects of muscle stretching?

In our life and work, if we maintain a posture for a long time, I believe everyone will experience muscle soreness, especially for some white-collar workers who work in the office for a long time, the feeling of muscle soreness and stiffness will be more obvious. The reason for this symptom is that our muscles have not been stretched. So, what are the benefits of muscle stretching for our body? I believe many people want to know now, right?

When people do the same action for a long time, the muscles they use will spasm and become stiff. For example, if you sit for a long time, the muscles in your waist and back will become stiff; if you maintain a certain posture while looking at a computer, the muscles in your neck and shoulders will become stiff; after long-distance running, climbing, or cycling, the muscles in your legs and waist will spasm and become stiff.

Stretching is the best way to help muscles relax and eliminate spasms and stiffness. Stretching after fatigue can protect ligaments, reduce muscle tension, relax tightened muscles, reduce muscle compression, relax muscles, promote blood circulation, accelerate recovery after training, and help relax the body. Flexibility stretching after a lot of exercise can relieve muscle soreness.

Regular stretching can provide you with the following benefits:

1. Relieve muscle tension and make the body more relaxed.

2. Allow the body to move more easily and freely, thereby improving body coordination.

3. It can expand the body's range of motion. For example, stretching before rock climbing will allow your movements to be unrestricted.

4. It can prevent muscle sprains (strong, soft, stretched muscles can withstand stress better than stiff, unstretched muscles).

5. It helps maintain body flexibility and prevents the body from becoming stiffer as you age.

6. It can make your muscles tighter and your lines smoother.

I believe that after reading the above, you now know the benefits of muscle stretching for our body, right? In fact, muscle stretching can be done at any time, and it is not limited to age, gender, time or region. If you have muscle soreness, you might as well try muscle stretching!
