Flexibility training can improve your performance in training and competition. This includes stretching. In this article, you will learn everything you need to know about stretching and why it is so important to incorporate a regular stretching program into your daily routine. What happens in the body during stretching? The term “stretching” comes from the English “to stretch” and means to stretch. Stretching exercises lengthen the muscle structure for a brief moment. Every muscle in the body has ends, the so-called muscle spindles, which run from the origin to the insertion. When a muscle is tensed, the insertion and origin come closer together. In the case of the leg flexor muscle, the knee is then flexed. Stretching exercises have exactly the opposite effect. The muscle ends move away from each other as far as possible and the muscle is stretched. The entire muscle structure, including the fascia (connective tissue of the muscles), is stretched during the stretch. The more frequently the stretching stimulus is triggered, the better the blood supply to the muscle and the better it is supplied with important nutrients and oxygen. This stimulates better regeneration and increases performance. However, it is important to remember that frequent stretching does not make the muscle longer, but rather adapts to the training stimuli. Most stretching exercises can cause an unpleasant pulling or even stabbing pain in the stretched muscles. This pain is a warning signal from the muscles and is intended to protect the body from overstretching. Overstretching can damage joints and ligaments in the long term, making them unstable and susceptible to injury. The pain is caused by signals from the receptors in the muscle spindles to the spinal cord. The longer the stretch is held, the weaker the signals become and the muscle can relax. It is therefore advisable to hold the stretch for at least 45 seconds. What are the effects of stretching? Regular stretching (at least three times a week for 10-15 minutes) can improve the mobility of your joints in the long term. Your tendons and ligaments are strengthened and your body can utilize the full range of motion that is possible. This makes movement sequences smoother and more ergonomic. This in turn can lead to better performance in training and competitions. In the short term, stretching can help to correct muscular imbalances. This can release tension, alleviate pain and reduce stress. Overall, your body awareness will improve. How noticeable the effects of regular stretching are varies greatly from person to person. However, as long as you avoid overstretching, the effects will always be positive. What needs to be considered when stretching? In order for the positive effects of stretching to be particularly noticeable, you need to follow a few basic principles: What stretching methods are there? There are two main types of stretching. Static and dynamic stretching. Static stretching involves holding a stretching position for at least 30 seconds, ideally 45 seconds. This promotes flexibility. However, this stretching method can make the muscles more susceptible to injury and weaken jumping power. Static stretching should therefore only be performed when warmed up after training or as an isolated training session. Dynamic stretching involves gentle, springy stretching movements that are repeated approx. 10-15 times. This promotes coordination and blood circulation. However, the risk of injury can increase if the exercise is too intense or uncontrolled. Dynamic stretching can be part of the warm-up or cool-down. You can find a few instructions for stretching exercises here.

History of archery Archery was originally developed as a form of hunting. As a long-range weapon, the bow played an important role in military conflicts for a long time. There are archaeological finds of fully preserved arrows that prove that bows and arrows have been used by humans for around 12,000 years. Modern archery developed in England in the 16th century. The first known tournament took place there in 1583 with over 3,000 participants. In the middle of the 19th century, archery became a popular women’s sport in Great Britain. Archery was part of the program for the first time at the 1900 Olympic Games in Paris. Competitions were also held at the games in St. Louis (1904), London (1908) and Antwerp (1920). After a 52-year break, the sport was reintroduced in Munich in 1972 and has been part of the program ever since. In Germany, awareness of the sport increased with the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. The silver medal won by Lisa Unruh from Marzahn in the individual competition is the main reason for this. Her bronze medal with the team at the next Games in Tokyo further increased her public recognition. Archery at the Olympics There are a variety of disciplines and competitions in archery. However, only the World Archery Federation (WA) outdoor competition, which is shot with a recurve bow, is Olympic. In this discipline, the target has a diameter of 122 cm and is 70 m away from the shooter. In a qualifying round, 64 athletes each shoot a total of 72 arrows, which are divided into two rounds. In each round, 6 times 6 arrows are shot, for each of which 4 minutes are allowed. A maximum of 10 points can be scored per arrow, i.e. 720 points in total. The results of the qualifying round determine the pairings for the subsequent knockout round (1st place against 64th place, 2nd place against 63rd place, etc.). In these duels, three arrows are shot per set. Two points are awarded for winning a set, and one point each in the event of a tie. Whoever reaches 6 points first wins the duel and moves on to the next round. A total of five competitions will be held. Two individual and two team competitions, each for athletes and a mixed team tournament. The team competitions use the results from the qualifying rounds of the individual competitions to determine the seeding list for the knockout round. However, the top four teams have already qualified directly for the quarter-finals. The pairings for the mixed competition are also determined by qualification results. Archery equipment The most important piece of equipment is the bow. There are different types of bow. However, the most commonly used are recurve and compound bows. The arrows are also absolutely essential. These can be made of wood, fiberglass, aluminum or carbon, but aluminum and carbon arrows have the best flight characteristics. In addition, a quiver (for easy and safe transportation of the arrows), a tensioning cord (for safe tensioning and untensioning of the bow), a finger guard (made of leather and covers the front of the finger) and an arm guard (prevents injuries from arrow contact) are required.
