APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Static stretching There is a limited threat of injury and it is extremely beneficial for overall flexibility. During this part of the warm-up, static stretching should include all the major muscle groups, and this entire part should last for about five to ten minutes.

Detailed explanation-2: -As the tension increases, the collagen fibers in the connective tissue align themselves along the same line of force as the tension. Therefore when you stretch, the muscle fiber is pulled out to its full length sarcomere by sarcomere, and then the connective tissue takes up the remaining slack.

Detailed explanation-3: -Dynamic stretches should be used as part of your warm-up routine before any athletic event, whether competitive or not. A complete athletic warm-up should incorporate about 5 to 10 minutes of low-to moderate-intensity swimming, jogging or cycling, followed by dynamic stretching.

Detailed explanation-4: -Warming up before stretching increases the blood flow and temperature of the muscles, ligaments and tendons, improving the elasticity and optimal functioning of the muscles and connective tissue. Stretching when muscles are cold could lead to a strain or pull.
