All types of exercise, whether it’s marathon running, cycling, swimming, or even simple aerobic dancing at home, should be accompanied by regular stretching (Warm up and Cool down Exercise). Warming up before exercise increases blood circulation and delivers nutrients to various muscles throughout the body to prepare the body for prolonged exercise and reduce the risk of injury that may occur during exercise.
Cooling down after exercise is beneficial in reducing muscle soreness and adjusting the heart rate and breathing rate to slow down.
Bangkok Hospital Chiang Mai presents simple stretching exercises to help everyone prepare their bodies for effective exercise. It should be performed for at least 5-10 minutes before and after every exercise session. If pain occurs during stretching, stop immediately and see a doctor as soon as possible to prevent further injury.
