Coaching-Hinweise
Technik-Tipps
Start by standing straight, then bend your knees and crouch down until your buttocks are near your heels. Keep your heels on the ground for the stretch to be effective. A common mistake is lifting the heels from the ground, which reduces the effectiveness of the stretch and can potentially strain the Achilles tendon.
Avoid bouncing or making sudden movements while performing this stretch. Instead, move slowly and steadily into the crouching position, hold the stretch for a few seconds, then slowly return to the standing position. Rapid or jerky movements can lead to muscle strain or injury.
