我們常跟學生說
運動前要做伸展操,運動結束時也要做伸展操
剛剛看到一篇文獻摘要,其說：
肌受伸展會讓副交感神經活性增加！
我心想
正式運動前的各種熱身動作
應該是要讓生理與心理都開始準備〔熱起來〕
所以應該是要著重於〔交感神經活性的提升〕才是
如果下述的文獻研究結果屬實
那........
日後是否應該避免讓學生們在運動之前進行伸展操
只要做跑步或跳躍等活動就好了呢？
歡迎各位先進指正！

Stretching increases heart rate variability in healthy athletes complaining about limited muscular flexibility.

An increase in muscular flexibility, as well as a significant beneficial effect on heart rate and heart rate variability (HRV), was observed in healthy male athletes after performing a standardized 15-minute stretching-program over a period of 28 days. We believe the HRV increase to be due, at least in part, to the improved vagal and/or diminished sympathetic control. Therefore, we recommend stretching as an effective and gentle technique for health protection.
