Alejandra Salazar is a great champion of padel. She made a series of videos for all players of padel who want to last over time. She offers us several types of stretching. We offer the cuadriceps.

If Alejandra Salazar does stretching it may be because it is important to do it right? We often take as an example the professionals of a sport for the technique, but it is also interesting to follow these same professionals in their routine, food, physical exercises and stretching.

It is a physiotherapy center that offers these videos of Alejandra, so the postures taken are the correct ones. What is interesting is that you are told what is right to do and what not to do.

The cuadriceps

These are the leg muscles that are found on the front of the thigh. They are very powerful because they are often used in padel for races, but also for jumps.

How to stretch the cuadriceps?

The best stretch for your cuadriceps is the one you've been doing for years. When standing, you catch your leg at the ankle by pulling back. You try to stick your heel to your buttock, the knees should remain almost glued. For a deeper stretch, try lowering your knee to the floor. Stretching time: 3 times 10 seconds per leg.

What you should not do

In order to avoid possible damage to the joints, it is preferable not to stretch the cuadriceps on the ground, one straight leg, one leg bent, the body leaning back.
