If you skip this part of training, movement will be more demanding, performance will be worse and risk of injuries increases.

Helps reduce tension in muscles, which are often stiff after exercise, and that can lead to uneven joint loading and their pain. Stretching helps keep muscles flexible and strong, thereby reducing pressure on joints and preventing their damage.

4. Incorrect technique during exercise or sport can lead to overload and joint injury. So make sure that you use correct technique in all exercises and activities. Really all. So, with any uncertainty turn rather to expert.
5. Overweight and obesity put pressure on joints, which can lead to arthritis and other joint diseases. Maintain healthy weight. Treat yourself to diet rich in vitamins and minerals, especially calcium and vitamin D, which are important for bone and joint health.
