However, in the sports’ field it’s got a wider significance, that is a set of stretching exercises having the capacity to improve the body’s mobility and flexibility. In sports’ training, apart from the warming up itself, stretching has recently appeared. The latter means the revival of joints and tonifying the muscles with the help of stretching movements. These exercises are slow movements that lead to a general improvement of mobility through the stretching of certain groups of muscles.
