...day 25...FLEX-ABILITY
...last night, at our seminar on the PHYSIOLOGY of FLEXIBILITY...
...we touched upon a number of items that I thought would be a great day 25 blog...
...as they are important to YOUR WELL BEING...
HERE IS A QUICK REVIEW-
1- STRETCHING CAN REDUCE INJURIES
2- STRETCHING CAN HELP YOU YOU DEVELOP STRENGTH
3- ALL STRETCHING IS NOT THE SAME!!!- IT IS A POWERFUL TOOL AND IF DONE IMPROPERLY...BRACE YOURSELF..CAN ACTUALLY MAKE YOU SLOWER/ WEAKER!!!!
4- BEING ABLE TO "STRETCH" YOURSELF IS ACTUALLY A LEARNED SKILL...WITH MORE NEURAL ADAPTATIONS THAT MECHANICAL!
5- HYDRATION IS AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF DEVELOPING YOUR FLEXIBILITY....A STUDY FROM UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS SHOWED 66% OF ALL NCAA ATHLETES ARE CHRONICALLY DEHYDRATED...= POOR FLEX"ABILITY"...
6- THE MORE YOU PRACTICE STRETCHING...THE BETTER YOU GET...TO TOP IT OFF, A RESPONSE TO STRETCHING=YOUR BODY PRODUCES MORE GLYCOAMINOGLYCANS (LITTLE GEL LIKE BUBBLES THAT KEEP MUSCLE FIBRES SLIDING ON ONE ANOTHER)- HELPING TO PREVENT ADHESIONS/ AND THE ASSOCIATED MUSCLE SPASMS.
7- THE WARMER A MUSCLE IS...THE MORE LIKELY WE ARE TO GET A GOOD STRETCH RESPONSE...SO, YES, HOT YOGA IS GREAT FOR RANGE OF MOTION DEVELOPMENT!!!!
...AND MOST IMPORTANTLY...STRETCHING COMES IN MANY SHAPES AND SIZES AND THE STRETCHING OF OLD, "STATIC-PASSIVE" THAT YOU DID IN GYM CLASS IN THE 70'S...IS NOT THE WAY TO PREVENT INJURIES OR EXCITE TISSUE BEFORE A TRAINING SESSION OR RACE...LOOKING FOR MORE INFO?
