Warm up prior to workouts is thought to decrease muscle stretch injuries because the muscle is more extensible when the tissue temperature has been increased by one or two degrees. A good warm up should last about twenty minutes - starting gently and finishing at full pace activity. Recovery after training sessions can be enhanced by performing a cool down, which is thought to help muscles get rid of waste products. This is also the ideal time to do stretching exercises.
Maintaining good muscle strength and flexibility may help prevent muscle strains. Muscle strength allows a person to carry out daily activities in a controlled manner and decreases the uncoordinated movements which can lead to injury. Tight muscles are associated with strains and stretching is therefore practiced to maintain muscle strength and prevent injury.
