LOWER BODY STATIC STRETCHING

Hello partners! In the previous post, we saw the upper body static stretching, but this time we are going to talk about this kind of stretching in the lower body.

As we know, the static stretching consists in an elongation of a particular muscle or group of muscles to the maximum point that they can and keep it in that position during a number of seconds. In this type of stretching, the speed which the movement is going to be carried out with is not the most important thing. (Arredondo-Saldaña, n.d.)

In particular, the lower body static stretching is very important to prevent muscular injuries in calf, quadriceps, hip, hamstrings, ankle, etc.

As we learnt in the previous post, the static stretching must have a duration of 15 seconds (Thomas, Bianco, Paoli, & Palma, 2018). In the following video, we are able to see the best exercises for lower body static stretching.
