“After physical activity, your heart is still beating faster than normal, your body temperature is higher and your blood vessels are dilated,” write the health experts at the American Heart Association. “This means if you stop too fast, you could pass out or feel sick.

也许你已经健身一段时间了,但是总觉得效果不理想,不完美,却找不到自己做错了什么。关于拉伸,有两种意见:大部分专业人士都认为拉伸非常有必要,你能通过拉伸把练伤的肌肉线条休整得更柔软更美,也可以缓解运动损伤,毕竟谁也不想练得像民工一样。
拉伸,是跑步甚至是所有运动最重要的一个环节,不论是跑前还是跑后,都需要拉伸。布兰尼根在接受《Runner’s World》采访时强调了运动前拉伸的重要性,“如果你在运动中的肌肉太过紧绷,那么身体的活动能力就会大受影响,然后就容易产生酸痛,甚至是受伤。”
