Stretching is a form of exercise and should be performed by everyone regardless of age and profession, but it is often ignored. As humans, the first thing we do when we wake up is we 'Yawn' which represent a natural way of stretching. Daily Stretching helps to maintain muscle control, motion range, increasing muscle flexibility and balance. We all know flexible bodies perform better. One should Stretch after five minutes of warmup under supervision to avoid any muscle damage. When a child reaches the era of growth, their fun sport can turn into an unpleasant experience. During this growth time, muscle tissues get stretched as bones grow faster than muscles. Light Stretching is the best activity to avoid growing pains. On another hand as adults, our muscles shorten due to lack of stretching which results in joint pain. To maintain our motion range in joints and flexibility, we need to stretch.
