Streching makes us healthy

Stretching is the most neglected aspects when it comes to keeping healthy and fit in sports. So often we overlook stretching because it doesn’t hold the same appeal as running, swimming or playing on the soccer.

Regular stretching can have a very beneficial effect on our bodies and can actually prevent injuries – and that means that each player need to make stretching a priority – even when we are not having practice or a match. 

The key advantages you will gain from regular stretching are Improved Circulation, Decreased Muscle tension, Increased Joint ROM (range of motion), Better Coordination, Improved Speed Performance, Faster recovery after exercise.

Stretching also lead to the improved functioning of the body in general. For example, stretching first thing in the morning will not only help circulate blood around the body but help hormones get flowing and your lymphatic system to kick into gear.
