Improved performance - Did you know that by stretching for just 20 minutes a day 3 times a week can improve your range of motion by 30%? It's true according to a recent survey conducted by Boise State University. The more flexible a joint becomes the greater its range of motion, and thus becomes more efficient.
Decreased injuries - Most physiologists concur that a greater range of flexibility and motion makes people less susceptible to injuries. Most injuries occur when the body is pushed beyond its normal range of motion. The nerves driving the muscle "memorize" your muscle range extent. If that extent is exceed then injury results. But, stretching elongates the sheath of
muscles that these nerves are incased in and they adapt by allowing a increased degree of movement.
Increased coordination - Stretching increases our neuromuscular coordination. Some studies show that the impulse of a nerve is increased by stretching. A faster impulse means that you can adapt to situations faster and your body can change to compensate easier.
There are many different ways that you can stretch your body. However, when it comes to lower body stretching (legs) using stretching equipment is recommended because it gives you a more consistent routine and can show your level of increased flexibility more readily than natural methods.
One of the best machines on the market is the VersaFlex. It is ideal for the person seeking maximum stretch in minimum time. The Century Versaflex combines heavy duty steel construction with performance technology for superior stretching results. Versatility is built in to accommodate stretchers from beginner level to the elite competitor or serious athlete.
