Tares apply througthout all age groups when that happens theres a problem always. When muscle is used to generate power it contracts, so any sports person has a lot of muscle contraction going on in there lives. With very little expansion taking place, now if you want to get more contraction you need a muscle to expand the bigger the expansion the greater the cotraction. Its like throwing a brick six floors up onto concrete it will shatter, do the same with a rubber ball it wont why Flexability, designed to give. Now rubber works simular in adaptability to muscle the more it is stretched the weaker it becomes. Now theres a clue TBC .
That defently made a lot of sense, no one has ever put the need for stretching and improving flexibility so well. Recently I have been having hamstring problems, and realise I have ignored the stretching/flexbility training which my body desires. I guess I'm still stuck in the "push yourself to the limits" phase, where instead I should be doing the most benefitial thing for my body. Which at the moment could mean lengthening my muscles rather than building upon them. Back to research and devise myself a flexibility routine for the mornings. The human body is an amazing organism, so complex yet on the scale of the universe rather simple and flawed.
