Run first or what?
-
Confused about something...
Some folks advocate running first, then doing your stretching exercises.
Others insist you have to stretch and warm-up first, then run.
So, who's right?
What is done in PE lessons in schools? -
stretch den run..your hamstring still tight,you go run,later pull liao how?

OK, I want to bloody find my ol' PE teacher and box the daylights outta him! -
they don't know anything ..... besides, knowledge is always changing ..... like the time they advocated drinkng as much liquid as possible, untill a few marathoners kneeled over and died from drinking too much water .....Originally posted by Rhonda:How come in Sec shool PE lessons, they make us run first, then stretch and warm up?
Ah, I know it... PE teachers are EEEEeeeevil!!
anyways ... stretch ... but don't over stretch ... I remember the time when i over-stretched during my warm up and pulled my hamstring badly during the 2000 Poly 50 relay race at SP ...... hurts like bloody hell ....

no one asks u to sprint right? if u do, of cos there wld b injuries..Originally posted by Rhonda:How come in Sec shool PE lessons, they make us run first, then stretch and warm up?
e main point is to jog, to feel and get warmed up. tis is to help loosen up ur muscles..then u can stretch better, lik normal rubber bands. however, when u stretch, pls dun bounce..hold it there then let go..
if u jus stretch when ur muscles are 'cold' they are hard, jus lik frozen rubber bands..if u jerk ur cold muscles, injury can occur... -
normally i jog on the spot to loosen up my muscles..Originally posted by Rhonda:How come in Sec shool PE lessons, they make us run first, then stretch and warm up?

Wat they taught us in sch during PE.. do warm up stretches then run.

See, now there are people from both sides advocating their method.
Confusing... -
do what i suggested..
just don't stretch too much..
the stretching is to limber up the muscles so that you'll not suffer injuries.. -
the stretch and warm up before running is the correct way..watch any football match and you'll know..Originally posted by Rhonda:See, now there are people from both sides advocating their method.

anyway... to loosen up ur muscles...a brisk walk would be gd.. not too strenuous and yet able to let u warm up.. and perspire a bit
but stretching is impt for the more strenuous bits of exercise.. -
