Stretching

Stretching Your Comfort Zone When paying attention to a man like Harry Nash, I am astonished by the way one single man can reenact a lifetime of people. Harry is the actor everybody loves, although he has never loved. But what is love? Is it the warm feeling you get inside of yourself when you see somebody special to you? Is it the passion you feel, or the feeling of having to make that special person feel like the most wonderful person in the world? I believe it is all above. Does Harry get…

examine whether the pre-competition static stretching affects lower limb force production and agility in basketball players. It was hypothesized that static and PNF stretching would have detrimental effects on the motor performance skills of the players. It was also assumed that a high-volume static stretching and PNF stretching would exhibit more intense adverse effects on the performance as compared to a low-volume static stretching and PNF stretching. Both these hypotheses were proven by…

Synthesis ofp-[1-(p-Hydroxyphenyl)-1-(p-Methoxyphenyl)Ethyl]Phenol (HMEP) 0.2 mol of phenol was mixed with the solution containing 100 mL of acetic acid in 200 mL of concentrated hydrochloric acid in 500 mL five necked round bottom flask fitted with anoil bath, thermometer, mechanical stirrer, reflux condenser. The contents of the flask was stirred for a period of 15 min, the solution was heated to 65oC, 0.1 mol ofp-methoxyacetophenone was introduced into a dropwise to the solution for about 6 h…

different types of stretching besides dynamic stretching such as ballistic stretching or static. I will remind students/athletes that dynamic stretching can be used for warm up and for the cool down phase static stretching will be used. “To avoid decrease in strength and performance that may occur in athletes due to static stretching before competition or activity, dynamic stretching is recommended for warm-up (page).” After students/ athletes perform a series of various stretching movements…

hydrogel stretching. High cross-head speed and draw ratio typically lead to nanofibrillar fracture [ ]. Hence, the draw ratio and cross-head speed for largest inelastic deformation to align TBC in the stretching direction were optimized by conducting preliminary experiments. Figure 2 shows typical stretching behavior of TBC hydrogel at a cross-head speed of 0.03 mm/min. The optimum stretching of TBC hydrogel was obtained at a draw ratio of 1.2 without any initiation of fracture in TBC.…

“Tension is akin to strength and power, while relaxation is speed, endurance, and flexibility.” (StrongFirst SFG 1 manual) Interestingly, strength as a skill practice also teaches you to relax your body. Training, sport, and life itself are a delicate balance of give and take. While the ketltlebell press involve totally body tension to lift the bell above the head, the kettlebell swing requires max tension on the concentric upswing of the lift, and total relaxation as the kettlebell floats at…

to prevent such injuries. First, stretching out muscles is a good way to prevent cramps and other muscle pains. Stretching the wrong way will do nothing but make a child look like they do not know what they are doing. Stretching the right or wrong way determines how the child will perform in a game and how bad their muscles hurt after a hard practice. Without stretching it is very easy to pull a muscle in the middle of a game or practice. Stretching is very crucial to a child's health.…

remaining within ten points of each other, and her diastolic rates within 12 points of each other. Her beginning blood pressure was 131/91 and after five minutes of stretching, it dropped to 131/79. However, after another five minutes of stretching it just barely increased up to 132/80. Finally, after a full fifteen minutes of stretching it increased yet again to 140/88. Similarly, Chris’s blood pressure was…

Why You Should Stretch Stretching has numerous other benefits. It should be a foundation in your fitness routine. It reduces the amount of lactic acid and inflammation in your muscle tissue, while preventing muscle cramps. Most importantly, because stretching reduces your body's automatic need to protect itself against overextension, it improves your flexibility. The more flexible you are, the easier your muscles are able to move through the full range of motion. This increases your performance…

you discs, thereby promoting a healthier, pain-free back. Back doctor Plano: Stretching and dynamic movements Here are three additional keys to a healthy back: dynamic motions, stretching, and strengthening exercises. Experts recommend performing enough motions to get your blood flowing before starting to stretch (stretching cold muscles can harm more than help you), but after you have a healthy blood flow, stretching is essential. Simply walking for 15 minutes (or five or ten!) does worlds of…
