The type of stretching recommended post-exercise is static stretching. This involves holding a stretch for an extended period to improve flexibility and help in recovery. After a workout, static stretching can aid in relaxing the muscles, reducing soreness, and preventing stiffness. It also promotes blood circulation, enhancing nutrient delivery to the muscles and facilitating recovery. Incorporating static stretches targeting major muscle groups helps maintain muscle length and joint range of motion, contributing to overall mobility and injury prevention.
