Flexibility

During Sports: Muscle stretching
improves coordination, balance, accuracy
and makes your muscles less prone to
injury

Training: Stretching helps improve
muscle imbalances. A muscle imbalance
is caused when some muscles are more
warmed up and ready for exertion than
others. Daily activities do not require the
same extension and range of movements
your muscles get during sports. If your
muscles are not stretched equally, they
are said to be imbalanced. Muscle
imbalance makes you less coordinated
and can contribute to injury such as
pulled or strained muscles
