Benefits for everyone:
- Reach peak performance sooner and sustain it longer because... Enhance athletic performance through optimum flexibility.
• A flexible muscle requires less energy expenditure for movement allowing for increased stamina, enhanced speed, agility and endurance.
- Improve range of motion and muscle flexibility.
• The result: increased power and improved performance.
- Improve preparation for athletic activity.
• A warm-up stretch can increase blood shunting to muscles, increase body temperature and improve connective tissue pliability.
- Reduce the chance of injuries, muscle strains and tears.
• Also, reduces risk of muscle cramps and spasms.
- Enhance elimination of the metabolic by-products
• Lactic acids, hydrogen ions and C02 to name a few metabolic wastes are produced during exercise and can negatively affect blood Ph...
• This will maximize supply of oxygen/nutrients through increased blood flow.
• And therefore shorten recovery time between workouts.
- Adjunct towards rehabilitation
• Optimal flexibility promotes improved circulation and oxygenation, which in turn nourishes the cells, tissues and organs ultimately restoring health to the affected region.
