The difference between warm-up and stretching
1, let's first understand what warm-up is: mainly we do some physical exercises before sports activities, so that our bodies can adapt to our amount of activity and our intensity of exercise from slow to fast. Just like starting a machine. At first, the machine was slow, but after getting used to it, it can be operated faster. In the same way, the function of the body can't be kept at a level from the beginning, and it needs to be adjusted through warm-up exercise.
2. Secondly, what is stretching? Stretching mainly includes active stretching and passive stretching. Active stretching relies on its own strength to relax muscles; Passive stretching is to rely on external equipment or manpower to make the body get a slow movement. Of course, in addition to simple joint exercise to warm up, stretching exercise is also a kind of fitness exercise. Stretching exercises include: leg lifting, jogging, back kicking, stretching with both hands straight up, etc. This can make the ligaments and joints of the body softer, thus reducing the possibility of muscle and ligament injuries.
3. Connection of warm-up and stretching: What we call warm-up actually includes stretching, and the scope of warm-up is very wide. In addition to simple body stretching, jogging, jogging, reasonable joint movement, etc. It's all warm-up. Whether stretching or other warm-up exercises can make the body about to enter the exercise get a good adaptation premise, so it can reduce the probability of ligament injury and let the body enter the exercise earlier.
Before we enter formal activities, warm-up exercise is essential, so we must not ignore it. Doing a little warm-up and stretching exercise in advance is not only an umbrella for the body during exercise, but also a prerequisite for the body to adapt to exercise quickly. Especially for people who don't exercise regularly, they must do warm-up and stretching before exercise, otherwise it is easy to hurt stiff joints.
