   It helps maintain steady levels of tension and stable joints to counteract effects that reduce muscle force (such as fatigue). [6] Because the Ib inhibitory interneurons receive convergent multisensory inputs and descending pathways, they may allow fine control of muscle forces, [ 5 ] and may be better at protective functions.

   Repeat this process for each muscle group while gradually reducing the amount of tension used to deepen the sense of relaxation.

   This will reduce the extra stress that these things can do to the body if they are over worked. Muscle tension will decrease. [41] If one's muscle tension is decreased they are not burning up extra energy that they may need later in the day. Metabolism can also decrease; this is mostly seen in hibernation and sleep and that gives the body extra ...

   It may reduce the lactic acid build up in the muscles, making the next workout more bearable. [20] Stretching does not appear to reduce the risk of injury during exercises, except perhaps a dynamic warm-up for runners. While running places extreme stress loads on the joints, static stretching can help to improve joint flexibility.
