Eli5: Why do we need to stretch our muscles after doing any form of physical activity or exercise?
In: Biology
Stretching prepares your body fora workout because it makes your muscles more pliable whereas they would’ve been tight. The pliability reduces the risk of injury like tearing a muscle or whatever and also increases your range of motion in your joints. Also it helps to get rid of lactic acid build up which makes you sore but I don’t know the science behind it.
