Today we talk about stretches and see how, when to do them and what they are for.
Exercises
- Stretches are accelerations over a distance between 50 and 100 meters
- Before training, they raise the heart rate and activate the fast muscle fibers that are recruited during interval training or competition.
- At the end of the workout they help us to restore elasticity to the muscles and tendons, helping to prevent injuries.
- They are performed at progressive speed
- The distance in the stretches varies from 50 to 100 meters, depending on the level of preparation of the athlete.
- The number of extensions to be performed can vary, from 4/5 (after a medium or progressive bottom) up to 10
- Speed you run
