Question

Analyze physical activities from which benefits can be derived. Compare three stretching exercises that can be performed by a person that works out at least 3 times a week doing a variety of exercises at the gym. Make sure to include the name and description of the stretch, what type of stretch it is and a health benefit of the stretch.

Answer 1

There are three exercises to be able to stretch or lengthen different parts of the body, which are the following:

In the diaphragm stretch, internal and external intercostal, transverse abdomen is performed a movement of the right and left arm, in a sitting position like an Indian. Arm stretched to contralateral side straight and stretched

Then we have the stretching of the abdominals and intercostals that is face down, supporting both hands and stretching the arms, very similar to what is known as "sun salutation" in yoga.

Finally we have the stretching or stretching of the trapezius muscles, spinal effectors and rhomboids are stretched by positioning both hands interlocked behind the neck, slowly bringing down the head and feeling that the neck is stretched so that the pear is stuck to the neck.

Step-by-step explanation:

The stretching of the muscles is essential because it allows health and greater capacity for contraction when performing physical activity. This happens because the initial length of the sarcomero is greater, therefore it presents more contraction during movement.

Answer 2

Hamstring stretching, Side bend stretching and Glute stretching are the stretching exercises that have a variety of health benefits.

Hamstring stretching: To stretch the right leg, hold the back of the right knee with both hands, pull the leg up toward the chest, and slowly straighten the knee until it feels as though it is stretching. Hamstring stretches can increase flexibility and improve the range of motion in the hip

Side bend stretching: You have to raise your right arm overhead and bend your upper body to the left in a reaching motion. Side bend stretching help to increase both strength and flexibility of the low back and the abdominals, supporting the spine and helping to improve posture.

Glute stretching: Sit on the floor and extend your legs out in front of you. Keeping your back straight, lift your left leg and place your left ankle on your right knee. Glute stretching can help relieve from tightness and tension. This also helps in reduce discomfort such as low back pain and tight hips.
