In linguistics, a unit of speech. In phonetic terms, a stretch of spoken language that is preceded by silence and followed by silence or a change of speaker. (Phonemes, morphemes, and words are all considered segments of the stream of speech sounds that constitute an utterance.).
The routine below is a basic static stretching routine designed to complete on an exercise mat at the end of your workout. It takes 5-10 minutes max and you can get all the preceding benefits.
Research work by McNair (2000) and Knudson (2001) suggests that the use of dynamic stretches-slow controlled movements through the full range of motion-are the most appropriate exercises for the warm up. By contrast, static stretches are more appropriate for the cool down.
