THE IMPORTANCE OF STRETCHING AT THE BEGINNING AND END OF THE SESSION? It is very common for this type of doubt to arise, and above all in "non-professional" categories, stretching at the beginning and end of the session is always a licle overlooked. Stretching at the beginning of the session? Yes, you read that correctly, but I am referring to dynamic stretching to acNvate the muscles, not to relax them with the stretches that you are probably familiar with, the passive ones. The problem we usually encounter is the lack of Nme afer the session. This is due to the lack of Nme that happens in any club, in addiNon to our daily lives. Another reason is that it is not given much importance. You have probably heard your coach say: "stretch at home boys/girls". As a player, you know that when you get home, you are rarely going to do those stretches to relax the muscles and recover faster for the next training session. What is the difference between dynamic stretching and acNve stretching?
Beginning with dynamic stretching, these are ballisNc and controlled movements, which we will perform in a fluid and smooth manner, controlling without exceeding the length that we would reach with a staNc movement. This type of stretching will produce the stretching of the antagonist muscles. In addiNon, they will acNvely prepare our body for the sporNng acNvity that we must perform.
