Engage in Warm-Up Prior to Stretching: Increased tissue - TopicsExpress



          

Engage in Warm-Up Prior to Stretching: Increased tissue temperature will increase the viscous (plastic) property of connective tissue, resulting in a greater elongation or stretch. In other words, a warm muscle will stretch farther than a cold one! Warm-up may include easy laps around the track, walking, riding a stationary cycle, or doing calisthenics until a sweat is broken (five to ten minutes). The same result may be achieved by performing calisthenics in place.
