In the world of sports, we see how athletes perform stretching of the muscles, after warming up and before entering the physical exercise of more intensity. Opinions are divided as to whether they should be performed before or after exercise.

In the field of high competition, it seems that what works best is to do it in the manner described above. There is less risk of injury, as it reduces muscle stiffness, facilitates movement, benefits balance, posture and body awareness.

During sports practice, however, stretching should be done properly, so that, even if done in cold, there is no greater risk.

When you are an amateur or beginner, stretching cold muscles is not recommended. In fact, you can do the warm-up, then the strong exercise and, finally, the stretching. This is very conducive to relaxation and muscle recovery. This type of stretching is known as passive stretching.
