<\/a><\/p>\nIn terms of harm: when done in an exaggerated way it can cause ligament laxity, and\u00a0muscle damage due to excessive muscle lengthening caused by stretching and pain.<\/p>\n
Professor Maron Abreu explains that stretching is not a myth. It is essential to maintain\u00a0good mobility, maintaining healthy joints, proper posture and functional movements.<\/p>\n
Like any machine, the little use of certain joint function, can jam parts, create rust,\u00a0increase grip and hinder its proper use.<\/p>\n
What can be understood as a myth, not by professionals, it is the form of how it is\u00a0applied, but that we are clarifying here.<\/p>\n
“If we compare athletes that stretch before and after physical activities, with athletes\u00a0who do not do that, we see that, without any external interference, the group that\u00a0doesn\u2019t extends present greater lesion score,” says physiotherapist Dalton Morgado.<\/p>\n
Consequently, stretching before and after is important.<\/p>\n
After the advices of those two experienced professionals, there is no doubt that we\u00a0should always do some stretching before and after physical activities. As for the types\u00a0of stretching and the ways to achieve them, we need to consult a competent\u00a0professional. Each person has his or her limits and they need to be respected.<\/p>\n
So, before running, before some weight training or performing of any exercise, stretch\u00a0to prepare your body. I’m sure your performance will be better. I will certainly do it\u00a0forever! We are together, huh? Let’s practice exercises, but without any injuries!<\/p>\n
