  • Avoid severe injuries while running by doing these important stretches, exercises and yoga poses before hitting the track, and after a fulfilling running session!

The article from MSN discusses the importance of stretching for athletes, particularly focusing on pre- and post-running stretches to prevent injuries. It highlights that dynamic stretches before running can prepare the muscles for activity by increasing blood flow and flexibility, reducing the risk of strains. Examples of pre-run stretches include leg swings, high knees, and walking lunges. Post-run, static stretches are recommended to aid in muscle recovery, decrease muscle soreness, and enhance flexibility. These include stretches like the calf stretch, hamstring stretch, and the figure-four stretch for the glutes. The article emphasizes that incorporating these stretches into a regular routine not only helps in injury prevention but also improves overall athletic performance by maintaining muscle health and flexibility.
