Performing daily leg stretches is one activity that should be incorporated into your daily routine. The benefits of stretching are many and have been proven through various studies over time. Review the following leg stretches below and add them to your daily stretching regimen:
Groin Stretches:
Gentle stretching of the inner muscles of the thigh can help prevent groin strains. Groin strains occurs when the muscles of the inner thighs are stretched beyond their normal length. This results in tears within the muscle that cause pain and inflammation.
Quadricep Stretches:
The quadriceps are four muscles located in the anterior thigh. This muscle group acts to extend the leg while straightening the knee. Running and biking, as well as daily activities, can result in tight quadricep muscles.
Knee Stretches:
The knee is the most commonly injured joint in all age groups. It is especially susceptible to damage during athletic activities and exercise. However, stretching and strengthening the muscles and tendons of the knee joint can help reduce injury.
Calf Stretches:
When calf muscles become tight, the risk of muscle or Achille's tendon tears and injury increases. For this reason, it is important to stretch tight calf muscles.
