What does stretching do to improve circulation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Movement: Stretching improves circulation by causing increased blood flow through the tissues. Lengthening muscles and tendons allows blood to move more freely through the blood vessels and also helps the heart beat faster to push blood faster through the vessels.
