The Benefits of Stretching Exercises
Stretching can have many benefits when it comes to your muscles, and while it does not always prevent injuries from happening, it can certainly help as stretching can prepare and warm up your muscles before any sort of training.
Even though research doesn’t necessarily point towards the concept of stretching being essential, there is no harm in it either. Stretching exercises are thought to improve flexibility and increase your range of movement, and it can reduce muscle soreness after exercise. This is because stretching can increase the blood and nutrient supply to your muscles. You are likely to lose flexibility gradually if you stop stretching, usually after about 4 weeks.
